A HUGE specimen of HUNDREDS of bright orangey-red crystals of crocoite, from the noted European Wein Collection, which was dispersed a couple of years back. There are crystals here to over 3.5 cm - and in person, the color is a LOT brighter; under case light it just pops out at you! You have probably noticed the scarcity of crocoite specimens on the market; there were never enough to go around, and their sensational color and sharpness of crystals has always made them a collector favorite.
