Fine and large specimen decorated with a large white acicular artinite ball located in the centre of the specimen. In addiation, there are some more artinite aggregates and countless snow-white balls of hydromagnesite. Both minerals are in high contrast to the matrix. The main artinite ball measures exactly 2 centimetres in diameter.

The specimen comes from the collection of Dr. G. Jung, who received it from M. Leonardi in 1973.
