Detailed Description

In excellent condition, a small number of incomplete crystals around the periphery. Stands perfectly for display in either orientation. Really nice!

About These Erythrites

Erythrite crystals from Bou Azzer are generally regarded as the finest in the world. The challenge with erythrite, however, is to obtain fine-quality specimens – the mineral is so soft and delicate that most specimens are damaged in the removal process or during subsequent transportation. These erythrites are superb quality specimens of this beautiful mineral.
