Elegant small miniature 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, some minor peripheral bruises. There are a couple of other crystals on the specimen, although they are only partial or heavily damaged.

Great color contrast.
