Item Description
Two, twinned and doubly terminated, lustrous and translucent, brownish tan aragonite crystals, to 2.9 cm in length are attached to each other. One crystal has minor but unimportant contact/damage near one of its terminations. This is from THE CLASSIC old locality for aragonite, which produced textbook crystals used to study crystallography in its early days as a science. Ex Joe Budd Collection
