    1 x .9 x .5 inches or 2.5 x 2.25 x 1 cm
    Here's what the original seller said: ""BRILLIANT ORANGE CROCOITE CRYSTALS FROZEN IN MATRIX"
    "WOW! HERE IS A WEIRD ONE! NOW THIS IS NOT A TASMANIA QUALITY CROCOITE BUT THE LOCALITY ALONE MAKES THIS A COOL ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION! AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE TAPED HAND WRITTEN LABEL IT IS KROCOITE BASHRAN MINE, SW AFRICA! NOW THIS GIVES AN IDEA OF HOW OLD THIS PIECE MIGHT BE... SW AFRICA IS NOW NAMIBIA!"
    It's small but the Crocoite is a rich orange color. Crocoite from Namibia is so rare that this was the only one I was able to obtain since 2004 when I began my Geo Safari Research Project on all the minerals of Africa.
    I was unable to locate any additional information about the Bashran Mine but it's probably changed names since the old days when the country was still called South West Africa. I'm sure that information is out there somewhere if only looks hard enough.
    I removed the putty underneath the Crocoite so that is not included.
