This attractive matrix hosts 3 extremely sharp, translucent, euhedral bertrandite crystals including a twinned crystal. Although this species has recently been found in Kazakhstan, the crystal form is markedly different from these old classics of several decades ago (of which this is one). These are very rare on the market, today. 6 x 4.5 x 2.5 cm
