Item Description
Wurtzite, named for French chemist Charles Wurtz in the mid-1800s, is rarely found in well crystallized specimens. This specimen has several good books of shiny metallic Wurtzite. These rosettes are very well-defined, and the largest is 1 cm across. This is an outstanding Wurtzite - truly as good as you can find for the species on the market, with SHARP isolated crystals that stand nicely. Valued $400
