Item Description
A new find for this famous old gem district. I think most people would agree that the most desirable color for Herderite (more properly Hydroxylherderite) is purple. This piece features a sharp, well-formed, euhedral monoclinic prism of purple Hydroxylherderite. A good gem crystal specimen of a species that is not often found in well-formed examples with a rare color.
