Description

A very large group of witherite hexagonal crystals from the famous Nentsberry Haggs mine. Crystals display a rather corroded appearance, evident throughout the specimen, which might appear crude and powdery, but in reality is pretty solid. 
Sizeable miniature of great quality. Very rare and quite sought-after mineral, more and more scarce nowadays. Among my best specimens.
