Big limonite cluster

Large limonite cluster with a stunning limonite colouring that sparkles gold. It looks best in natural light: in the sunshine it glows golden like a little sun. What makes this piece special is that it's a floater: it has crystallised all the way around, with countless points facing in every direction. There are also some double-terminated crystals grown onto it, and even a few tiny Faden quartz crystals. A real highlight for any collection.

The Story of This Crystal

This cluster comes from a vertical quartz vein and was found during an abseiling mission. The vein was hidden in a sheer rock face, so we had to rope up to reach it.
