Item Description

An excellent, long-needle aggregate of vitreous Wollastonite from Arizona. The crystals in this fibrous cluster run the entire length, and the crystals actually turn almost 90 degrees at the termination. The color ranges from gray-bone to a pinkish tan. Very interestingly, the bone fluoresces tan and the tan fluoresces white. That adds a lot to an already fine Wollastonite specimen that isn't glamourous, but very good.
