Description from the seller

Fine Crocoite crystal specimen from Dundas, Tasmania, Australia.

Attractive cluster of vivid orange-red to deep red prismatic Crocoite crystals on dark matrix. The specimen shows numerous well-developed elongated crystals with strong colour and good lustre, creating a very striking contrast with the matrix.

Several larger crystals rise prominently above the cluster, giving the specimen an attractive three-dimensional appearance. As is typical for Crocoite, some crystals show natural contacts and minor edge damage; please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
