Item Description

A superb, unusually euhedral pair of Catapleiite crystals, complete-all-around, except for the contacted base. The crystals in this fine thumbnail are tabular, glassy, gemmy-to-translucent, and they have excellent beveled edges. There are even well-formed brown crystals of manganneptunite on the back, which makes this a good combination piece, as well. A classic and showy combination specimen from the famous Mt. St-Hilaire, Catapleiites are rare when this clean and well-formed. Valued $900-1000
