Item Description
The luster is glassy and bright on this sharp, gemmy, yellow-green euhedral crystal from the famous namesake Type Locality. The front is pristine and the contacting on the back and base have very little actual damage and is mostly out-of-sight. This very fine miniature is from the original finds of the 1940s and are valued highly. This is a gorgeous, classic crystal with the unique color form those old finds that has not been equaled since! 40 grams mass, so a nice sized small cabinet with some cutting value, as well. Valued $1500-2000. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!! Difficult to photograph, due to the glassiness and gemminess.
