Item Description

A dramatically sculptural large specimen of intergrown clusters of orange creedite balls. The striking isolated balls at one end are 6.0 cm across. The sparkly, gemmy and lustrous, mostly burnt-orange prisms, with some colorless crystals, reach a large 2.0 cm on this impressive piece. Considering the large size and crystal density, the few bruised areas and scattered broken crystals are certainly acceptable in the context of this remarkable large piece. The primary attachments/contacts are out-of-sight on the bottom or side, depending on the display view. This locality may be extinct, as we have heard that the tunnel collapsed. A very fine large example from the find.
