Item Description

An aesthetic display specimen of the fairly well-known, yet hard-to-find examples of Aragonite pseudomorphing Glauberite from Camp Verde, Arizona. This is an attractive small cabinet sized piece featuring an excellent, remarkably distinct, sharp, well-formed crystal with a medium golden color, flaring off matrix. There is actually a second doubly-terminated pseudomorph that is piercing through the larger crystal, creating a very attractive form. The original habit of the tabular Glauberite crystals is completely preserved now by the Aragonite. The main crystal at the top of the piece measures 3.6 cm long. This is a rarely seen matrix specimen of this elusive material, and very good quality.
