Item Description

Two aegirine crystals, to 12 cm in length, intersect at almost 90 degrees. The crystals are very lustrous and a dark brownish black. Superb, elongated and large examples of the species are now common from this productive locale, but they will not always be around on the market. We saw similar priced recently from a major collection deaccession at thousands of dollars. This was bought when they first were coming out, for much less, and is worth somewhere in between...
