This unusual specimen features a 6-cm-tall oblong roseate cluster of REALLY intense burnt-orange creedite blades, perched atop a concave bowl of smaller creedite crystals. In person, it present very 3-dimensionally and stands out from the crowd - hard to convey in photos. The large cluster is very nearly pristine (just a few missing minor crystals) and has superb color, luster, and transparency. Again, the photo does not do it justice, sorry to say. In person it is much more impressive
