Item Description

You don't see a lot of Ettringite on the market, and they have risen in demand since there is little material available these days. This specimen is loaded with dozens of well-formed, sharp, euhedral, translucent, prismatic, lemon yellow colored hexagonal crystals measuring up to about 5 mm on matrix. No real damage, per se, but the piece is contacted around the periphery where it was removed from the pocket wall. A showy and good quality representation of these classic Ettringites from the N'Chwaning Mines. You don't see a lot of specimens, even the older stuff, with a bunch of crystals on matrix like this. Priced at $850 in the inventory.
