& FREE ShippingA large rough chunk of Creedite weighing at 3.51oz. It's surprisingly lightweight compared to other specimens, and this is due to the many caverns, or "vugs," which hollow out the interior with clusters of crystal growth. It also contains inclusions of purple Fluorite, and is covered in natural sparkled crystal.
