These celestite specimens are a classic of Catalan mineralogy. They were found decades ago in fissures in the carbonate marls of Els Esbornacs area (Catalan word meaning fissures produced by landslides), in the Plana de Vic. They occur as orthorhombic prismatic crystals, transparent to translucent, bright and with a very characteristic greyish-blue color.

These specimens of banded flint were collected decades ago in the area of El Brull, in the Montseny massif, and identified as agate. They appear in nodules and veins, embedded in a siliceous limestone, presenting bands of gray tones, between light to dark gray. These kind of striped flind are well know in jewelery, and very appreciated. It is a unique curiosity of the Catalan mineralogy of many years ago.
