Description

You are bidding on a small sample with a vug hosting several groups of bladed jasonsmithite crystals collected by myself and recently approved as a new species. Only about 18 samples were found, and this is one of the few I have available to offer to the public. Comes with a signed label and has been mounted by me. No more will be found as the boudler that produced them was smashed to bits.
