Item Description
A classic and excellent thumbnail combination from the famous Sterling Mine. A 1.3 cm, textbook hexagonal, sharp, doubly terminated Willemite variety Troostite (Mn-rich) crystal is jauntily and aesthetically set on the sculptural blocky calcite matrix. The moderately lustrous crystal has fine salmon color and is pristine. This is an outstanding thumbnail combination with a sharp willemite from the famous Sterling Mine. Neon-green and neon-red fluorescence, as you would expect!
