Item Description

It is not common to find well-terminated crystals of Ettringite on the market, and they have risen in demand since there is little material available these days. This specimen is a well-formed, fairly sharp, euhedral, translucent, prismatic, soft lemon yellow colored hexagonal crystal free of matrix. No real damage, per se, though there is some slight surface etching on select faces. A showy and good quality representation of these classic Ettringites from the N'Chwaning Mines. Priced at $850 in the inventory.
