Cabinet, 10.3 x 6.2 x 5.0 cm
SOLD
A fine cabinet specimen of connected intergrown balls of creedite and covered with gemmy, burnt-orange to colorless crystals. Good creedites were rare and expensive from ANY locality, until these orange ones were found in Mexico. Then, the mining was finished, apparently for good. This is a beautiful and aesthetic specimen with very few broken crystals, for such a large piece. The balls stacked up atop each other at one end are particularly striking.
