Item Description
Very rare, exceptional specimen of well-crystallized Thomsonite. The crystals are translucent to gemmy, have very good luster, and occur in dozens of platy fans (sprays) about .5 cm long. In discrete crystals like this, Thompsonite is very rare. This is old material from the Fersman Museum of Moscow.
