Description

Neat bottle like crystal of weloganite from the locality which produced by far the best specimens for the species in the world - Francon quarry, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The crystal has a superb bottle shape - irregular barrel hexagon. It has good luster, some slight gemminess, growth striations and colorless to yellow color. It is complete all over 360 degree. The mine is closed since decades. In excellent condition. In a plastic box.

Fantastic weloganite!
