Hydrozincite (fluorescent) Whitmore Coll.

Item Description

Mammillary to stalactitic, hydrozincite aggregates compose this showy mounded specimen of essentially solid hydrzoincite. The few broken forms reveal the hollows in their centers, where the precipitating fluids flowed and adds much character to the snow-white mineral. Material from Iran is very seldom on the market. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection and probably dates from the 1950 to early 1970s. Bright white fluorescence.
