Item Description
A substantial and impressive jackstraw cluster of lustrous, translucent to partially gemmy, stout, orange-red, crocoite prisms from the famous Adelaide Mine. Crystals reach 4.5 cm on this dramatic 360-degree piece. Broken and contacted crystals are noted, but this remains a most excellent, very colorful and attractive example of the species. Sturdy, older material, as it comes with a faded label. Valued at $500 by the former dealer.
