With crystals of sharp and distinct arrowhead-like form, to 1.1 cm, this is a very beautiful and fairly important German crocoite. Most people have never heard of such a thing, and few of quality are seen on the market. This is, for overall display quality and the size and color of the crystals, a pretty good example. A rare, and important, display-quality German classic from an Old German collection I buy all I find, of any quality - which amounts to about only about a half dozen in the last decade.
