Item Description
An important and complete-all-around cluster of intergrown, HUGE, Powellite octahedra, forming together one very large, very impressive compound 9 cm crystal. The luster varies from earthy to glassy on some faces, but it is the size and overall geometry that are impactful. The crystals are sharp and well-formed. While not the prettiest color, this is certainly one of the more important Powellites I have offered, large for the species. Excellent fluorescence, as shown. Valued $1500-2000
