Synthetic Zincite xls (Schlichter Coll.)

Item Description

A dramatic floater cluster of glassy, gemmy, gorgeous, rich cherry-red, scalenohederons and spikes of man-made secondary zincite. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only trivial termination bruising to the large crystal. This unusual, but very beautiful specimen was lab grown for decorative purposes or as a collectible. Seldom available in this quality as crystalline specimens, though. You could say you own the world"s finest N"Chwaning rhodochrosite miniature. Ex Ernie and Vera Schlichter Collection. Valued highly for color and aesthetics.
