A crystal spray of about 2 cm tall highlights a well-trimmed miniature here. This piece, from the George Holloway collection, was illustrated in Mineralogy for Amatuers by the late John Sinkankas. It is good enough to be worth the price, though, aside from its illustration! Now, a recent large find of these a few years ago has admittedly depressed pricing on this mineral. in the past, it would have been worth double. The time will come when it will be again, and then the illustration will mark this as an old specimen as opposed to the new and add value, I think. 3.7 x 3.1 x 2.4 cm
