Notes: |
This small Herkimer crystal matrix specimen holds 4 Herks in a pocket of black hydrocarbon.
The largest, a fat tabby, measures 17x14 mm. It's double terminated with some blemishing. A long thin 9x5 mm grew perpendicular to it. Two tiny baby crystals, about 2 mm attach to the tip.
A thin coating of iron oxide adds a pale golden color.
The dolostone matrix is sparkly and overall clarity of the Herkimer crystals is good. A great starter specimen. |
