A sharp miniature with vivid contrasts! This cluster of upright ettringites is host to a crust of brilliantly sparkling, micro-hausmannite crystals on one side. All is perched on a thin shard of calcite and hausmannite-covered matrix. A really nice, elegant miniature, with good color and translucency, representative of this new find.
