3.7 x 0.7 x 0.7 (largest). Three exceedingly gemmy and lustrous, vivid orange-red crocoite crystals make up this excellent 3-piece set from the famous mines near Dundas, Tasmania. One crystal is totally hollow and another has a pronounced groove. The crystals appear to be either crudely terminated or have broken tips. Old-time material as the crystals come with an older Ward’s label and are in an antique, glass-covered box. These are very high quality and highly representative crocoite crystals from this famed locality.
