RM3607   Celestine and calcite
Sr(SO4)
  -  7. Sulfates, chromates, molybdates and wolframates

The celestine specimens from the Torà and Ivorra regions are a classic of Catalan mineralogy. They have been found in different areas of both municipalities. This specimen comes from test pits taken near Torà, on slopes that are now covered and prohibited for searching due to the destruction caused by some prospectors in the past. Pointed prismatic crystals, slightly bluish-gray in color, are found in cavities lined with calcite, in a carbonate marl matrix.

Size: 10 x 7.3 x 7 cm.
Main crystal: 15 mm.
