Item Description
A RARE large cave aragonite helectite from this obscure Utah locality. The sparkly, sharp, translucent intergrown orthorhombic crystals on this very aesthetic and striking curled, curved and looped helectite look like snake scales. Both ends were attached to the cave wall, but, have no impact to his fine piece. Very modest pink fluorescence. A must for the locality or species collector. Found in the 1980s
