Witherite (Ref: 21.1-323)
Minerva Mine #1, Rosiclare Level, Cave in Rock, Illinois, United States
32mm x 29mm x 18mm
minID: N8C-6CG
Textbook perfect form and top quality Witherite crystal on matrix from the Minerva Mine. It is not often we see a super Witherite in thumbnail size, this is in perfect condition, no damage and looks fine from any angle. The form of this piece looks much like a classic English Witherite but it is from Illinois where this is a quite rare habit. There were just two important localities for fine Witherites worldwide, Cumbria in the UK and the Minerva Mine in the USA. Both locales are now classics and neither produces anything today. This piece is also intensely fluorescent.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
