Item Description
Elegant pair of well-developed Carrollite crystals from the famous locality in Katanga. The largest crystal is 1.5 cm along the edge (larger across) and very 3-dimensional. Not only is the form and combination excellent, but the minute dendritic etching along the faces is absolutely stunning. It reminds one of a classic piece of engraved silver from a master craftsman. A great, aesthetic large thumbnail specimen from Charlie's extensive thumbnail collection amassed over 40 years
