Item Description

A choice, euhedral, single crystal of Catapleiite attached to, and partially intertgrown with, matrix. The crystal is gemmy and lustrous, and the upper edges are particularly sharp and well-formed. Catapleiites from here have been among the best crystals for the species to date (and hence, they cost more, as well). An excellent, and aesthetic thumbnail for the species. Valued $250-450
