Witherite (fluorescent)

Item Description

Witherite from this locality, seldom seen in this quality today, is considered by most to set the standard for the species. These crystals have the classic pseudo-hexagonal barrel shape, with a few of the smaller ones tapering towards the terminations. These large Witherites measure to about 3 cm in both width and length. Also typical is the micro-stepping on their faces, the slightly "off-white" color, and the translucency. Good aesthetics and fluorescence. These are rare, and in demand. valued $1250-1500
