Description

This is the finest three dimensional thumbnail sized carrollite floater crystal that I received- due to its near perfect condition and sharp form- a perfect octahedron with tabled terminations of various sizes.

There are numerous imbedded pale green muscovite crystals evident as well as indentations where others were.

The condition is near perfect with only the slightest edge wear to report.
