Much of one surface of this specimen is covered with vivid red orange colored, needle like Crocoite crystals which contrasts nicely against the dark brown matrix. The crystals have a high adamantine luster. Only a few are terminated. There are a few more crystals on the bottom of the specimen as well as buried within a seam in the middle of the specimen.

Condition: Good

Flaws: Most of the crystals are not terminated and there is a small area near the middle of the specimen which is bruised.
