Item Description

A sculptural and excellent small cabinet specimen of connected intergrown balls of creedite covered with large, gemmy, light-orange to colorless crystals from the NEW find of August, 2009. The striking large crystal is 1.5 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, near floater cluster of creedite, with only a few small points of 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.
