Item Description
Extremely sharp, brilliant green crystals of this very rare molybdate species lining a crevasse in the matrix, make this a fine miniature for the price. They were found over a decade ago by Skip Szenics, after whom they are now named. All came from and through him, and no more have been found since to my knowledge. This unique species is showy and colorful for a new rarity! Valued $750
