Detailed Description
This is such an aesthetic specimen of gormanite, featuring sprays of radiating greenish-blue crystals perched on matrix. Very nice separation and contrast, and in excellent condition. Gormanite was first described from the occurences at Rapid Creek and is named after University or Toronto Professor Donald “Digger” Gorman.
Super, pretty gormanite!
