Item Description

Aragonite is rare and is rarely available from the renowned, old iron mines at Frizington, Cumbria. This is a sharp, nifty, obelisk of tan, translucent aragonite. The primary crystal is pristine and the broken sidecar crystal is a very modest detraction. Classic, seldom available material from this historic locale and comes with an expertly handwritten, faded label from an older collection. The collection this came out of was a museum stash dating to prior to World War I.
