A large, excellent example of an Illinois classic. Light creamy-golden color, good luster and a fine crystal structure. The specimen has a very good display face that doesn't show the matrix contacts on the bottom and side. I sold this many years ago, about a decade, to Dr. Helen Holmes, and it is from her collection that it comes back now. It was then, and remains, a superb and unusually well-formed large crystal for this classic locality that is now closed. 6.5 x 5 x 4.5 cm
