A large and showy specimen covered all around with pagoda-like towers of benstonite! This piece is amazingly, nearly pristine. It is one of the largest benstonite specimens I have ever seen for sale, and is certainly the richest in terms of coverage. The pedigree is an added bonus. 7.5 x 6.5 x 6 cm
