Item Description

A dramatic, highly modified, 2.0 cm, brilliant silver-metallic carrollite octahedron is aesthetically set amidst carrollite crystal sections on the striking massive carrollite matrix. The sharp form of the nearly pristine 360-degree crystal is remarkable and the superb luster is characteristic of this rare Cu-Co-Ni sulfosalt from a New Find. The display views of this exceptional crystal are pristine. The trivial bit of edge wear is out-of-sight on the back. This new find resets the modern standard! The size, high quality and form still rate this a a $1500-2000 specimen and the carrollite matrix is an uncommon bonus. Here is your chance to obtain an outstanding good-sized matrix carrollite octahedron at a very reasonable price point.
