Stellerite balls on Albite (Ref: 22.1-611)
Tatatila Municipality, Veracruz, Mexico
58mm x 38mm x 20mm
From a small new find in Vera Cruz (Mexico) this is an excellent example of esthetic orange balls perched on contrasting white Albite crystals. These specimens look a lot like those from a find in Kazakhstan 20 years ago, but on close inspection are really quite different. This is a particularly nice piece, well above average with the best bright color and in excellent condition as seen. All the balls are complete except one on the edge that has a contact on the backside (not visible on display) the contact shows the radial crystal structure very well.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
