Item Description
A nice quality group of slender, deep reddish-brown prismatic Parisite-(Ce) crystals forming a large thumbnail / small toenail sized display specimen from this lesser known mine in NW Montana (between Missoula and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho). The mine was worked for Fluorite for a short time during the 1950s, but arguably it's best known for its Parisite specimens.
