Minerals - Okenite - English Italian Hand

"Okenite is easily one of the most fascinating of minerals. When people see it they want to touch it to see if it is as soft & fluffy as the white cotton balls which it looks like. Consequently it must to be displayed in a protective container to prohibit handling because if touched its delicate crystals are destroyed.

Being a short simple word I thought I'd flourish it up a bit. I wanted to make the flourishing a sort of self-contained unit. The form of "t" shown here was very rare in English-Italian Hand, but a few historically similar examples may be found."
