This matrix specimen is dominated by a large, doubly terminated, lustrous and translucent, ivory colored, witherite crystal, measuring 5.0 cm in length. This is a very aesthetic balance of large crystal size and matrix, and the crystals show the classic form and color, making this overall a quality specimen from the famous Minerva #1 M in Illinois.
