A striking specimen visually, for the lustrous, gemmy, fiery-orange/red stolzite crystals to 5 mm on a stark black background. There is almost no damage to the front, jsut to a few tiny crystals. All the majors are pristine. This is the most classic and treasured habit of Broken Hill stolzite, and the crystals are relatively robust. More crystals are on the backside as well, of the other, more "wulfenite-looking" habit of stolzite. I think these transparent 1-2 mm windowpane crystals were mistakenly labeled as raspite on one of the two old labels here.
