Item Description
Fluororichterite is an ultra rare amphibolte group species. This showy and excellent combination specimen is from the well-known Earle"s Farm occurrence in Ontario. Brilliant, grayish-black, preferentially striated, fluororichterite prisms are jauntily set in contrasting calcite matrix. The prominent large crystal in front is 4.7 cm and is doubly terminated, with no damage. Highly representative combo material from this noted locale. Rare in such quality for aesthetics, though
