Crocoite
A BEAUTIFUL and large, iridescent fire-orange crocoite crystal from Tasmania. This gorgeous, large crystal has outstanding chatoyancy and is very nicely striated. The termination was contacted against the pocket wall and is not damaged, per se, but is admittedly rough (although it displays well enough anyhow). The UNRETOUCHED backlit photo highlights the translucency and super orange color saturation. Sharply terminated and perfect crocoite crystals of this size and quality came out in the 1970s. Collectors and dealers were astounded by their size. This is a large and very fine representation of this desirable species and is not fragile, like most crocoites are. Ex. Brent Lockhart Collection.
