Intense metallic-sheen, tufted sprays of striking magenta Erythrite needles, with an almost metallic luster, are aesthetically covering the matrix. The largest needle is about 7 mm, and many of the sprays reach over 1 cm across. This is an exceptional specimen from the famous Selwyn District of Australia. This is older material and is not often seen in such size and richness!
