Item Description
A classic, hexagonal, tan, witherite crystal nicely accented with snow-white barite and a bit of purple fluorite from this noted locale. The lustrous, translucent, doubly terminated, blocky crystal has striking, well-developed, stepped-growth faces. A complete all-around and pristine floater. Contacting on the back, with no damage, per se, is noted and is out of sight on the back. Highly representative older material from the famous Rosiclare Sub-District. Super white fluorescence, as you would expect. Also purple fluorescence from the fluorite. Ex Al Kidwell Collection. valued $400-500
