Item Description
According to Charlie Key, this is a plate of very rare Aegirine crystals from the famous Wessels Mine. These crystals, which completely cover one side of the matrix, range up to about .3 cm in size. They are cubic in habit, and the luster is very good. An important specimen for its rarity, and for the well-formed crystals for the locality.
