The crystals of Witherite are pleasing displayed on the specimen as two major inter grown pyramidal crystals measuring to 4cm tall, with a twin peak appearance. A smaller crystals is seen inter grown with the two lager crystals, with another Witherite crystal grown at an oblique angle from the matrix. The host matrix for the Witherite is a druse of spiky Alstonite crystals, from colourless to a faint pink tint. An excellent Witherite specimen from the mine.
