Strontianite crystals from the Magnesite quarry at Oberdorf an der Laming in Styria, Austria are some of the world's best, because of their distinctive, cream coloured hexagonal prismatic form, with a damp, somewhat resinous lustre. Specimens sometimes show crystals of this form sparsely scattered upon matrix, but this miniature specimen presents a fine tight cluster of hexagonal prismatic Strontianite crystals largely radiating from a central point on Magnesite/Dolomite matrix. The individual crystals reach up to 1.5 cm in length and are extremely well formed and free from damage. From the superb collection assembled by brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021).
