Item Description
Enticing, very architectural set of adjoining, bladed crystals of Charlesite included with Ettringite. This is an unusual habit for Ettringite, and it is present as coloration and as amixture with charlesite (they are in a series, anyhow); and the gemmy, lemon-yellow blades look like adjoining skyscrapers, with sunlight gleaming off their faces. Contacted at the bottom, of course, the termination of these crystals are very good. A most unusual and attractive miniature.
