Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India

10.4 x 8 x 5.5 cm. An outstanding, LARGE cluster of beautiful white Goosecreekite crystals that comprise a cluster that is an amazing 6 cm across. This is a highly significant rarity and size for the species. The luster is excellent, and the uniformity of the snow-white crystals adds even more to the aesthetics. A true killer. Ex. Charlie Key.
