A remarkable specimen of Pollucite displaying an unusual etched growth and an exceptional sugary texture, giving it a striking frosted appearance. At first glance, it could easily be mistaken for quartz, but a closer look reveals the distinctive and fascinating crystal habit of etched Pollucite. The intricate surface texture, excellent transparency in places, and unique sculptural form make this a highly aesthetic and uncommon collector specimen. Pollucite is a rare cesium-bearing mineral, prized by collectors for its unusual crystal habits and its importance as one of the world’s principal sources of cesium.
