Junnila Property, Clear Creek District, San Benito County, California
Miniature, 4.2 x 2.2 x 1.3 cm
SOLD
A sharp crystal, large at 1.4 cm across, of this rare species, perched on analcime matrix. Collected by Scott Kleine in the late 1990s, and now seldom seen on the market today. The locality rarely gives up fresnoite of any quality, and in fact has really done so on fewer than half a dozen occasions. It is extremely rare on the market in any quality, today. This is a display quality miniature
