Description

This tunellite specimen is of the highest quality. Here you can see a specimen with a spearhead-like structure. The crystals are white to colorless and display an iridescent luster. The specimen is flawless and in absolutely top condition. The size of the crystal aggregate is also remarkable, measuring 3.6 centimeters in length.

Specimen from type locality. Tunellite is only known from a few localities worldwide.

The specimen comes from the collection of Dr. G. Jung, who received it from R. R. Lobel in 1976.
