A lovely plate of bladed tabular Datolites growing on a covered knoll of matrix. The lavender pink Datolites are gemmy and highly lustrous. The largest spans about 1.3 cm. This attractive piece is very representative of the Datolites from the Wessels Mine but they are very rare. Ex. Charlie Key stock.
