Item Description
Terminated, columnar, parallel-growth strontianite crystals form an attractive 360-degree specimen from this abandoned magnesite deposit. The translucent, colorless crystals have very waxy luster. Complete all-around and pristine, except for out-of-sight basal periphery wear on the back. Material of this quality is very uncommon from here and this is a good one. Faint pink fluorescence. Ex Cynthia Payne Collection. Better in person!
