Item Description
Striking, diverging, splendent, sharp, jet-black, aegirine crystals attached to starkly contrasting microcline crystal matrix form a very sculptural and aesthetic 360-degree small cabinet combination from Mount Malosa. The five impressive large crystals, to 4.5 cm, are pristine and have unusual modified terminations. You barely notice the broken crystals in the front of the piece. These are some of the finest aegirines from anywhere and this is a fine and uncommon matrix example. Valued at $550 in the Gallery.
