This lovely thumb has crystals with the complex habit, detailed faces, razor-sharp edges, and mirror surfaces that make this a classic for Carrollite crystals. What sets this beauty apart is the distinct nature of the crystals, although intergrown, they each maintain their own visual personality, give this an aesthetic appeal above the already high norm. Absolute killer of a thumbnail! This came from the best strike ever for the species, about 5 years ago now.
