Item Description

An impressive, sculptural and aesthetic combination from this famed locale and the Kelly Nash Collection. Sharp, intergrown, porcelaneous white analcime trapezohedrons are dramatically accented on all sides with lustrous, black aegirine crystals, scattered catapleiite crystal plates and striking natrolite blades on one side, to 3.7 x 2.2 x 0.5 cm. Contacting, with little damage to a couple of analcime faces, broken aegirine tips and a broken natrolite are noted, but are certainly only modest detractions to this impactful 360-degree combination.
