Strontianite (classic locale) Whitmore Coll.

Item Description

It is very rare to find strontianite in sharp, hexagonal crystals, and this excellent and very rich example from this classic old locale is exceptional for this reason alone even if they weren"t also so pretty to look at. The largest crystal is 1.7 cm and is doubly terminated. The crystals are colorless and have tan terminations. The lustrous and translucent prisms are richly and aesthetically strewn on a maze-like, box-work plate covered with sparkly, drusy dolomite. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection.
