Item Description

Intergrown spiky balls of sugary, tan strontianite crystals form a very fine, rare and sculptural small cabinet example of this color varietal and style from the famous Minerva Mine. Most specimens from here do not have this tight ball structure (most are sprays or balls of needles) with tan color. Ex Ross Lillie Collection # 1184. Ross states on his label: "Fine example of color variation". From advance mining in the Cross-cut orebody and collected in October, 1991. UNUSUAL!
