Item Description
An aesthetic Minerva Mine witherite cluster. Sharp, conical, hexagonal crystals with frosted faces and typical layering are jauntily set on the interesting matrix. The striking doubly terminated crystal is 3.1 cm. Tiny dogtooth calcite join the witherites on the blocky, amber calcite matrix. Bright snow-white fluorescence. All of the major crystals are pristine. Classic and elegant older material from this renowned locale. Ex Schlichter Collection.
