Description

Although the provenance of this specimen is a little scetchy (given as- Rookhope Mine, which could be Boltsburn Mine or the more likely Frazier's Hush Mine) it has much to offer. The crystals which are up to 1.8 cm are sharp with an attractive purple edging. It sits nicely to make an attractive little display.
