A 3.3-cm-long spray of erythrite crystals that are balanced delicately, carefully, and safely on a pedestal of crystalline quartz - just a shocking display specimen for this rare cobalt species, from Morocco! The specimen shows crystals of great color, metallic luster, and relatively large size, all on a specimen that can be handled safely to display these otherwise fragile clusters. The piece has been trimmed to sit as shown, easily, on its own. Just a stellar example of this mineral, from its classic modern-era locality. Although pockets come out from time to time, this is a special style and for any mineral would be considered a truly aesthetic combination.
