Item Description

This very colorful and beautiful crust is covered with vivid canary-yellow, translucent, gemmy sturmanite crystals. The sharp, hexagonal crystals are well-terminated and reach 6 mm. Sparkly, drusy calcite fills gaps between the sturmanites and the crust is solid sturmanite. Excellent material from the Charlie Key dealer stock, that would brighten up any case.
