Item Description
A dramatic intergrown pair of glassy, gemmy, yellow-green, tapered, doubly terminated spikes of man-made secondary zincite. Complete all-around and pristine, there are multiple small terminations on the nubby, fat end. 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.
