Item Description
A very eye-catching, showy display specimen from Santa Eulalia featuring a prominent, sharp, lustrous white prismatic group of Hemimorphite measuring 2.6 cm long, along with some smaller Hemimorphites sitting atop botryoidal reddish-silver colored sparkling Willemite on oxidized matrix. These are rare from this area mined back in the 1960s, and I've only seen a scant few of them over the years. This one is notably aesthetic and fine quality to boot. Maybe the best one in terms of overall visual appeal that we've ever had to offer. Accompanied by an old De Natura label, and valued at $1,500-$2,000.
