Item Description

A lovely display specimen from the famous Mount Malosa locality featuring excellent, well-formed, rather lustrous, deep green colored (virtually black), prismatic crystals of Aegirine measuring up to 3.1 cm, associated with off-white colored, very lustrous, blocky crystals of Orthoclase and a solitary doubly-terminated crystal of Smoky Quartz. No damage that I can find, and the piece is very aesthetic as you can see. A choice example of this classic material.
From the worldwide mineral collection of geologist, Demetrius Pohl (#1695).
