Most witherite specimens in the market exhibit a long prismatic form ending in a pinacoid. This complete crystal is short prismatic and the pinacoid is much broader. It is lustrous, translucent, and has a pleasing, pastel tan coloration. VERY FINE miniature for this now defunct locality, of one of its rare minerals 4.2 x 4.1 x 2.3 cm
