Item Description
aegirine specimens from the famous 1990s finds at Mount Malosa are generally considered to be the finest in the world. This is an adorable and sculptural two-sided combination. The central, lustrous, jet-black, prismatic stalk is dramatically accented with a "crown" of sharp, bone-white feldspar crystals, numerous smaller aegirines and gemmy, glassy, light smoky quartz crystals. Complete all-around and pristine. This is a classic and very aesthetic combination example of the species and locale from the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
