Item Description
This is a classic and excellent example of lustrous, translucent, sheaf-like strontianite crystals, which are European classics. Most specimens are 50 years old or more, and they only turn up in old collections today. Nearly pristine, with only very trivial, hard to see, scattered bruising. The back has been sawed to enhance the display. The Bill Smith Collection label dates from the mid-1960s to mid-1980s.
