Item Description
An outstanding and very aesthetic Minerva Mine witherite thumbnail from the Dick Jones Collection. A very sharp, conical, hexagonal crystal with frosted faces and typical layering is jauntily set upright on a matrix of blue fluorite and massive barite. Bright white fluorescence. Classic and elegant older material from this renowned locale. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
