Item Description

A highly sculptural CABINET specimen of connected intergrown balls of creedite and covered with gemmy, light-orange to brown to colorless crystals. This fine piece has multiple displays views and is greatly accented by the four, etched, blue-green and purple, fluorite crystals in the middle of the piece (largest is 1.5 cm). Good creedites were rare and expensive from ANY locality, until these orange ones were found in Mexico. This is a beautiful and aesthetic specimen with VERY FEW broken crystals, for such a large piece. It is a near floater cluster of creedite, with only a few small points of attachment on the back and sides! This is a very showy, puffball-like cluster of creedite balls enhanced with fluorite. STRIKING.
