Size
9 x 7 x 5 cm - Sm Cabinet 
Formula
PbCrO4 (RRUFF)
Locality
Adelaide mine, Dundas, Tasmania, Australia

Delicate, yes, but still shippable. The specimen contains the classic red prismatic crystals to over 1cm. Many are terminated, which is usually not the case. There is slight veneer of siliceous hard material on the crystals and is not removable. Crocoite from Tasmania is the best in the world. At one time this was a $215 specimen. The market has been flooded and the prices came down.
