Item Description

A fine quality and beautifully LUSTROUS group of terminated Aragonite crystals that have no damage that I can see on the display side. The crystal habit is indicative of this variety of Aragonite from Tsumeb which has lead included within it (known as Tarnowitzite). These crystals also fluoresce a beautiful hue in short wave UV. A great specimen, and much better in person! From an old East Coast collection, valued at $500.
