Item Description
The Mineralogical Record in 1980 had an article on these gemmy and glassy, reddish-orange, barrel shaped crystals. I have only seen a handful of other for sale, they are rather rare. Although the crystals are small (up to 2mm, the color and gemminess makes them highly desired among U.S. collectors. We photographed the crystals with a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens to better show the quality. Ex Harold Urish Collection.
