An impressive, mounded cabinet specimen of glassy, translucent, tan witherite crystals from a classic England locality - the Settlingstones Mine, Northumberland. This excellent, two-sided piece is very nearly pristine, with only very trivial bruising in a couple of places. Historic, old-time material, probably around 100 years old or older.
