WOW. This is one of the finest specimens to come from a small well dig, about 7 years ago, that really redefined what you could get for a top powellite. This is not only one of the best specimens, but one of the largest crystals, for the find and for the species. It is complete all around, and is both colorful and lustrous. The crystal is as close to pristine as you could wish for, and nearly all of the scolecites are also intact. It is a phenomenal specimen that caused rumors when sold to Marty by KC Pandey at the munich show, when they came out. It has resided with Marty ever since, and it was one of the top pieces in the collection for my own personal taste. 8 x 5 x 5 cm
