celestine associated with a flat vein of colorless, clear
selenite gypsum. An interesting association of two sulfate
minerals whose cations (calcium and strontium) fall in the
same family of the periodic table. Sits well for display
on the naturally flat gypsum base but this should be
avoided, as the soft gypsum - currently in fine condition
- will be easily scratched.
