Description

Classic radial wavellite aggregates on the dark limestone matrix from this well known UK locality. Wavellite is well represented here, covering an entire open fissure. With great lustre and a catchy 'catting' effect.

Sizeable matrix specimen, quite rich for both specie and locality. From a Swiss historical stock (50+ years old) I have recently acquired, it comes with an old label.
