Item Description
A striking creedite ball covered with large, gemmy, light-orange to colorless crystals from the NEW find of August, 2009. The cute little ball on top is a nifty accent. The largest crystal is 1.1 cm. Good creedites were rare and expensive from ANY locality, until these orange ones were found in Mexico. Suddenly, you could own a really fine creedite without selling your house to get it. This is a beautiful and aesthetic specimen with very few broken crystals. It is an excellent floater or near floater cluster of creedite, with only a few small points of contact/attachment on the back and sides! This is a very showy, puffball-like cluster of creedite crystals. The creedite crystals in this find are generally larger and gemmier, than earlier finds. STRIKING.
