SOLD
A sculptural, floater cluster of intergrown scorodite of several habits, including a sharp, symmetric "bipyramidal" crystal to 2 cm in the middle, and more "pseudocubic" crystals to 1.25 cm around hte periphery. The piece is very elegant and completely unlike anything I have ever seen of this species, in overall aesthetics. The crystals are not opaque, but when backlit a faint purpley hue, and somewhat translucent. luster is high and reflective!
