Crystallized Thomsonite is exceedingly rare from the Manganese Fields, and this is one of only a handful of specimens I have seen in decades of looking. The piece features a 1-inch ball perched smack atop a natural pedestal. This is a significant and readily displayable specimen of this rare species. And, as well, crystallized thomsonite is rare from ANY locale to begin with.
