Item Description

This is certainly one of the largest, dramatic intergrown clusters of orange creedite balls, that we have offered at auction. The bottom center ball is 8.3 cm across. The sparkly, gemmy and lustrous, mostly burnt-orange prisms, with some colorless crystals, reach a large 1.8 cm on this sculptural piece. Considering the large size and crystal density, the few bruised areas and scattered broken crystals are certainly acceptable in the context of this remarkable large piece. There are sections of green fluorite crystals on the contacted back, as a bonus. This locality may be extinct, as we have heard that the tunnel collapsed.
