Description

Elegant and rich matrix specimen of crocoite. Several sprays of bright red crystals populate a limonite vug, most of which are terminated and transparent. In addition to the above, several pearly aggregates of creamy gibbsite add a striking contrast to the specimen. Totally worth some photomicrography attention!

Delicate. It will be packed properly to sustain shipping, however the customer should account for some crystals to detach during transport.
