Description

Hi All, this auction is part of a series of ‘Clear-out Minerals’ Clear-out auctions. This specimen and the majority of others on offer this have a starting price 50% or more lower than in all previous auctions. Happy bidding. A specimen (from my own collection) is neither the botryoidal habit nor the 'rice grain' crystals usually seen from this location. It consists of individual translucent crystals up to 0.6 cm across on a contrasting dark matrix. Sits nicely for display.
