Item Description

For such a highly saline, large body of water, well-crystallized halite specimens are EXTREMELY RARE from the Great Salt Lake. This very fine, two-sided piece, consists entirely of pearlescent, snow-white, blocky halite crystals, some with very nifty hoppered growth. The large crystal at the top is 1.5 x 1.4 cm. Rare and excellent material from this famous lake. Ex Zukowski Collection. Excellent white fluorescence.
