Crocoite

Unknown Owner
This is simply one of the finest Crocoites that I have come across. The color is a deep orange-red, the luster is superb, and the crystal faces are much smoother than normal, creating a dazzling specimen. The largest prismatic crystal is an amazing 2.2 x .4 x .4 cm in size. Just a knockout! Note the sharp triangular terminations and the stunning overall color impact!
