Item Description
Lustrous and well-formed, these clusters have many beautiful, acicular crystals of silver-black, metallic Kermesite. One side has two radial sprays that the species is known for, while the back has denser growths of the Kermesite. The beautiful spray that displays best has Kermisite needles over 2 cm long! Likely from the famous finds of around 1970, specimens such as this are extremely rare on the market and hard to obtain. Formerly in the collection of A.L. McGuinness. valued $750-1000
