Description: Aragonite Locality: Carter County, Montana Size: small cabinet, 6.7 x 5.5 x 5.2 cm Aragonite These attractive specimens made quite a splash in the mid 80's, and this is one of the better ones I have seen because it is symmetrical and unusually fat. The large single stalactite, along with the base, have good deep-orange color and lovely translucency under strong light. This would make a good addition for the carbonate collector, or someone with an appreciation for the aesthetic and unusual.
