Description

Elegant thumbnail specimen featuring a textbook crystal of carrollite nicely perched on white calcite matrix. The crystal appears to be very fresh and lustrous, with some growth pattens on the faces. No signs of alteration and very minor peripheral bruises. There are a couple of other crystals on the specimen, although they are only partial or heavily damaged.

A good thumbnail, with great color contrast. It comes in its original Perky box.
