Description

Lovely rarity! The volborthite found in Milpillas is considered best of species by many collectors, for the size and richness of crystals produced. This specimen has great composition and spacing of the very sharp, and translucent volborthite crystals.
Minor point of contact on one of the crystal groups hardly distracts from this piece's stark beauty.
