Item Description

Bubbly, botryoidal, translucent strontianite forms a scuptural, 3-dimensional specimen. The tan, nubby, frosted outer layer coats the translucent, amber radial-growth crystals of the interior. Bruising and periphery wear are noted, but this remains a highly representative example of the species and locale. Excellent material from an obscure Washington locale. Seldom on the market.
