Description

You are bidding on a small miniature sample hosting exceptional crystals of schoderite in vugs. This was a very small find, perhaps 5 total specimens, with the world's best crystals of the species made in 1986 by Don Owens, the mine geologist. This is the second best sample of the find, and the best sample was illustrated in Rocks & Minerals magazine. There are numerous clusters of the sharp, bright orange crystals on the sample. A true rarity and best of species!
