Item Description

For the classic English species, you will be hard-pressed to find witherite with such fine form and luster in any size. As a miniature specimen in particular its amazing for the large crystal, that still (barely) fits in the TN box. Textbook orthorhombic crystal form with a striking 6-sided, conical termination. Complete all-aound and very nearly pristine, with only very trivial termination bruising. A terrific, old-time miniature specimen. ex Sal Avella
