Description from the seller
This beautiful piece of crocoite comes from the Red Lead Mine in Dundas, Tasmania, and is an excellent example of the high-quality mineral formation from this rare and fascinating crystal species. Crocoite (PbCrO₄) is a mineral known for its vibrant orange-red to deep crimson crystals, as seen in this specimen. This particular piece is remarkable for its dense concentration of crystals, which sparkle brilliantly in the light.
The crystals are sharp, long, and delicately arranged, making it an exceptionally attractive collector’s item. The color of the crystals is very intense, a hallmark of crocoite from the Red Lead Mine. This locality is historically famous for producing some of the finest crocoites in the world.
This mineral is perfect for collectors looking for a rare and visually stunning specimen, as well as for those wanting to add something unique and valuable to their collection. The piece is large enough to capture attention while beautifully showcasing the characteristic structure and vibrant appearance of this amazing mineral.
