Item Description

An impressive, large and sharp, 3.5 cm, brilliant silver-metallic carrollite crystal dramatically set in calcite. One face of the cuboctahedron has striking stepped cubic growth, adding real pizzazz. These Congo carrollites were instantly recognized as the world's finest, when they came out in the early 2000s. The noted contacting has minimal impact to the quality and large crystal size of this fine miniature. Valued at $1500 for crystal size and quality. An excellent opportunity to obtain a fine large crystal of this rare species at a great price point.
