Item Description

Sublime is the best word I can use to describe the delicate and beautiful dentritic growths of the white Aragonite needles on the gray Talmessite botryoidal layer. My best anology would be the fern-like patterns of frost that you find on windows on winter mornings. Simply gorgeous - it is also a superb rarity in excellent display form! Valued $900, and from an old USA locale.
