CREEDITE FROM CHINA


Creedite from this mine has trickled out for about 3 years, since around 2006. It comes seemingly in only small pockets, spread over time. I was able to buy much of one particular lot found in the fall of 2009, which has exceptional lustre and radiating sprays of glassy, clear crystals to several centimeters. By worldwide standards, these are very fine examples of the species and priced less than comparably sized crystals from Mexico or Russia.

This matrix specimen has rosettes of bright, very glassy and gemmy creedite crystals to 2.75 cm in length. The individual crystals radiate out in a starburst patterns. The stark white color of the crystals, and a really glistening wet look make this a superior specimen. Minimal damage in a few spots, but this does not detract much.

Nestled in a concave shaped vug are bright, glassy and gemmy crystals of colorless creedite, in crystals to 2.25 cm in length. I particularly like that the crystals are standing up, shooting out and away from the matrix. A few of the crystals are also doubly-terminated. An attractive matrix specimen VERY MUCH beyond the norm for the finds here, with exceptional glassy lustre and brightness - and in a good collector size
