Item Description

A glorious, glamourous, 1.6 cm, sharp, splendent silver-metallic carrollite octahedron is dramatically set on the side of the unusual mottled pink and gray matrix (not calcite). The sharp form of the pristine crystal is remarkable and the superb luster is characteristic of this rare Cu-Co-Ni sulfosalt. Matrix carrollites are far less common, and the quality of this one is exceptional. Here is your chance to obtain an outstanding matrix carrollite at a very reasonable price point. Valued at $2000-2500.
