This matrix specimen has a lot going for it. There are a few super lustrous, almost metallic looking, botryoids, which are the terminal ends of many convergent childrenite crystals. In addition, there are free-standing childrenite crystals and at the very front of the specimen, therefore the best viewing angle, is this exquisite, rosette of bladed, lustrous, translucent, orangy-brown, childrenite crystals. The rosette measures 3.0 cm across. Outstanding!
