Aragonite (one-time U.S. find!)

Item Description

One of the top examples of the aragonites from this one-time find we bought out a couple of years ago - not only beautiful, but an important new find of aragonite from anywhere, much less America. They have a unique look, with tiny crystals growing like teeth on an earlier generation of sharp, larger crystals. This is not only a large CABINET specimen, but the crystals really stick up off the 3-dimensional matrix in bold relief, in a series of interconnected bursts of crystals framed by the contrasting iron-rich matrix. If you do not have one of these, this one of the best we had, that we held back to offer later! Last year, we were able to buy the remaining 8 pieces from this single pocket from the original miner, so we have all there is of it! This is an EXCELLENT two-sided piece. AMAZINGLY, there are very few broken crystals, for such a large piece.
