Description

A beautiful puffball of intense yellow Sklodowskite, snugly perched in a vug of sparkly Gypsum crystals.  A super aesthetic specimen in splendid shape. A few years ago I had the opportunity of the first choice with my friends Kosta and Christo Kapellas down in Lavrion and I bought a bunch of the best stuff. And I never sold one specimen of that in the past. This is the first piece I´m offering......
