For the species, you will be hard-pressed to find Witherite with such fine form and luster in any size. As a thumbnail specimen in particular its amazing for hte large crystal on balanced matrix, that still (barely) fits in teh TN box. The matrix on the back actually adds strength and protection to the crystal, and there is only the most minor bruising. A terrific specimen. Barely squeezes into TN box diagonal... 3.8 x 2.5 x 1.2 cm
