Item Description

Snow-white drusy quartz has pseudomorphed an impressive hodgepodge of both tabular barite crystals and fluorite octahedrons on this striking and excellent specimen from a small Silverton area claim. The pseudos rest on mint-green fluorite octahedrons, that fluoresce bright blue. Excellent and uncommon pseudo material from the Bob Trimingham Collection. It displays well from either direction. A must for the Colorado or species collector.
