A large plate rich with sparkling crystals to 3 mm of the rare species stolzite, from this classic locale. Unusually these are orangey-brown in color instead of red-brown. Minor raspite is in attendance. Although there is some damage here, you are gettign in general a large display face, a displayable specimen overall, and crystals of superb quality. These came out of Broken Hill long ago, I am told prior to the 1940s. Pieces this rich, that do not break the bank, are hard to come by today
