Item Description
Glassy, light mint-green, aragonite needles form a striking diverging spray on this very rare example from this Chinese locality. There are broken crystals, but this is a stunning display of aragonite crystals, very unlike anything from any other locality. A very small lot of green calcites and aragonites came out in 1999-2000. I have never seen any more, since that time. Ex Larry Krause Collection. No fluorescence.
