Item Description

Lustrous, translucent, pretty lavender to brown to colorless, doubly terminated, floater aragonite crystals form a sculptural, intergrown specimen from this classic Spanish locale. The crystals have textbook pseudohexagonal form. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only the slightest of periphery wear. Choice older material from the Al Ordway Collection # 142 and obtained as a gift from Jim Minette in 1975.
