Choice, 4.5 cm wide specimen from one of the world's best, if not THE best, wurtzite locations. This excellent specimen is composed of gunmetal black, elongated crystals growing radially outward. Each crystal has a nearly flat termination, good luster, and average about 5 mm wide at the top. They are all growing on a matrix, 3-dimensionally ballooning out. Very aesthetic, and it is quite distinctive as a display quality miniature.. valued $750-950
