We see very few faceted Celestites from any locale and we generally get access to one or two stones per year. Celestite is a difficult gem to facet and typically we see an asymmetric shape and less than ideal polish - not at all the case here, the stone is quite dazzling and bright. Magnificent size, a fine US cut and a good and, most notably, a fine medium light blue color - most of these are so light as to appear colorless, not at all the case here. True blue Celestites are a find and one of this size and quality is worthy of the finest collections; a true museum grade gem. Simply nothing we can say to detract here, a great Celestite liberated from a long-held collection.
