Item Description

A rich English scorodite from older finds here, not fro the rediscovered pockets in the late 1990s. This is a very, very hefty specimen because it is solid wolframite matrix, with a thin rind of quartz underlaying the sparkly sheet of brilliant, lustrous, microcrystalline scorodite that completely covers one display face. Brilliant when lit with case lights!
