Item Description

Striking, intergrown radiating clusters of two-toned witherite crystals form a most exotic looking and sculptural elongated specimen from the famous Minerva No. 1 Mine. The lustrous, translucent, off-white to light gray prisms in the three distinctively different clusters have a striking enechelon stepped-growth look. Ex Dawn & Jim Minette and J. Murray Collections. Rare Minerva witherite in this style.
