Item Description
A sharp, 1.5 cm, brilliant silver-metallic isometric carrollite crystal is dramatically set atop matrix on this on this very fine and sculptural matrix small cabinet from this well-known Katanga mine. The crystal form is noteworthy. Three sides are pristine on this excellent example. Fairly valued at $1000-1250 from these important old finds of the 1990s! Seldom available now, in matrix and in good shape, these are relics from the finds that are still considered the best of species to this day. This sharp crystal smartly atop matrix is an important example of the find and the time.
