Description

Spectacular piece for its beauty and contrast between the group of prismatic and even acicular crystals of strontianite on a limonite matrix that holds them. They were found in a specific area of the "Oriolana" mine in Busot (Valencia, Spain). The crystals with a resinous vitreous gloss have an elongated, pseudohexagonal pyramidal habit and form fluted and rounded fans on each tip. The color they have ranges from white to light yellow and even some are colorless. The shape of these crystals is what makes them attractive and this piece attests to this.
