Description

A lovely example of colourless selenite crystals from this classic, but seldom offered Kent locality. However under short wave UV light the most unusual feature of the specimen becomes visible. The largest crystal has a perfectly formed phantom which is invisible in normal light, but which shines bright under UV light. The crystals also display mild phosphorescence.

The specimen will be supplied boxed and labelled.
