Item Description

Easily, the largest, finest and most impressive display specimens of Okenite come from India. This is one of the most dintinctive mineral species out there as the spheical aggregates have a very soft "cotton-ball" like appearance. This specimen features a pair of snow white, radiating "balls" of Okenite measuring up to 2.2 cm on basalt matrix. Even though these specimens might be common, they are hands down the finest examples of the species in the world, and should be appreciated as such.
