A choice miniature of candid white artinite from Rio del Bastardo. This is a rather rich specimen with acicular crystals radially distributed alongside the rockwalls. Artinite has a very good luster and it is in good conditions.
Quite sizeable crystals for the locality, which is now defunct.

It will be shipped hot glued in a plastic box for additional protection. Account for some minimal needles and crumbs detaching during shipping.
