Item Description

A striking large specimen of sharp, well-formed colemanite crystals from this well-known extinct mine. The lustrous and translucent, straw-yellow to white crystals reach an impressive 13.0 cm. The piece looks great from two sides without aid as two sides have been sawed. Ghostly white fluoresence. A very fine and large example from the Bob Trimingham Collection. Seldom seen on the worldwide market, as these are old finds now
