Synthetic Zincite xls (Schlichter Coll.)

Item Description

A dramatic cluster of glassy, gemmy, gorgeous, red-orange, scalenohederons and spikes of man-made secondary zincite. Complete all-around. The striking spike is pristine and the broken tips on the secondary crystals are only a modest detraction. 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. Ex Ernie and Vera Schlichter Collection. Valued highly for color and aesthetics.
