Large, chunky single Celestite crystal. The crystal is color zoned with areas of deeper blue surrounded by lighter blue. It's well terminated and undamaged. The Mojina Mine is located between Santa Eulalia and San Pedro Corralitos in north-central Chihuahua. These were mined in the late 1960s and none have been found since. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection.
