This striking large cabinet specimen measures 80 x 48 x 48 mm and displays a dense coverage of vivid orange-red crocoite crystals on dark iron-rich matrix. The crocoite crystals are slender, prismatic, and well-terminated, showing excellent translucency and a bright, glassy lustre. They radiate across the matrix in divergent clusters and isolated sprays, with many crystals reaching several centimetres in length—creating a dramatic, eye-catching presentation.

Collected from the world-famous Adelaide Mine in Dundas, Tasmania, this locality is considered the premier source for fine crocoite specimens globally. The intense colour and high-quality crystal form seen here are hallmarks of the best material mined during the early 1980s, when the Adelaide Mine was producing some of its most iconic finds. The iron-stained matrix provides strong visual contrast, enhancing the vibrant colour of the lead chromate crystals.

Mined in the early 1980s and formerly part of the A & G McDonald Collection, this piece represents a classic era in the history of Tasmanian crocoite. With its rich crystal coverage, large display size, and excellent provenance, this is a top-tier specimen suitable for collectors of Australian minerals, lead species, or display-quality cabinet pieces from world-renowned localities.
