• Lot Description
  Including:<br> A mineral specimen featuring radiating clusters of hemimorphite crystals perched atop a richly textured gossan matrix. The hemimorphite forms delicate, fan-shaped sprays of elongated, bladed crystals with frosty translucency and bright vitreous luster. The host matrix is a rugged assemblage of oxidized iron and manganese material, displaying warm tones of ochre, umber, and chestnut with botryoidal textures and natural pitting. Small pockets of microcrystalline growth add subtle sparkle across the surface, contrasting with the larger hemimorphite blades, 1-1/2"H x 3-1/2"L x 2-1/2"D.<br> A compact and well-formed crystal cluster, featuring multiple intergrown prismatic crystals with sharp terminations and softly translucent clarity. The quartz exhibits a milky to faintly smoky coloration, with internal veiling and subtle zoning visible through the larger faces, 1-1/4"H without base.
