Item Description

Bultfonteinite is a rare silicate, with many of the finest examples coming from the famous Wessels Mine. This is an extremly rare and extremely rich, bubbly, sculptural cluster of light pastel-pink, variably sized botryoids in grape-like clusters. Usually, you see isolated botryoids on matrix from the Wessels. Top-flight aesthetic and rare material from the Charlie Key Collection.
