Description

Aragonite from Somma-Vesuvius is not very common. This vug is fully lined with three rich sprays of elongated crystals, which give a nice, soft-looking botroidal habitus to the aggregates. The color is white to creamy, and it is given by stains, possibly iron oxides that has precipitated to variable degrees.

Very good and rich for the locality!
