Epididymite (twin) (ex Charlie Key Collection)

Item Description

Some of the finest examples of Epididymite are found at MSH, and this piece is a wonderful thumbnail representation featuring a complete, twinned crystal with a pseudohexagonal form (it's actually orthorhombic in habit) with a soft blue color. The piece is very sharp and lustrous, looks like it could be a complete "floater" as I don't see a point of attachment. A great example of this rare and desirable species from this prolific locality. It is now difficult to obtain specimens from this locality as collecting has been limited / reduced in recent years, so if you collect minerals from this world famous prolific locality, don't miss out on this attractive thumbnail. From the collection of renowned mineral dealer, Charlie Key - the namesake for Keyite and Ludlockite.
