Description

I admit, that this specimen is not comparable with the great items from Illinois, Austria or Germany. But it comes from the type locality, Strontian in Scotland. Here you see white and lustrous, acicular, almost tapering crystals on matrix. Hard to come by this classic stuff nowadays. Ex Dr. Pešl Collection
