Item Description
Some of the world's finest Aegirine crystals are found at Mount Malosa. This particular piece features large, superb, sharp, HIGHLY lustrous, deep greenish-black prismatic crystals of Aegirine with minor associated feldspar. For a Pyroxene, you can't ask for much sharper or lustrous crystals. They have truly "wet" luster, and for the size, this is about as fine as the quality gets for the species. Valued at $1,500 for the size and quality.
