It is very rare to find Strontianite in pseudo-hexagonal crystals, and these examples from this classic old locale are exceptional for this reason alone even if they weren't also so pretty to look at. They are sharp, doubly-terminated, lustrous, and the creme color grades to a lovely gemmy amber at each termination. The largest crystal is 1.4 cm. very aesthetic specimen!
