Unknown Owner
Pseudo-cubic crystals of hydroxylapophyllite measuring to 0.5 cm in size, these covered with white crystallized bultfonteinite, and set on a matrix coated mostly by sparkling colorless gemmy calcite crystals. Neat for the species, in great condition. The bultfonteinite crystals are fluorescent under longwave ultraviolet light.
