Item Description
A beautiful and classic association specimen featuring sharp, white trapezohedral Analcime measuring up to 1.5 cm across plus black prismatic Aegirine crystals measuring up to 3.1 cm. Additionally, there are dozens of sharp, prismatic, translucent off-white color Natrolite crystals and a few beautiful brown "rosettes" of Rhodochrosites. Lastly, there is an unidentified brown acicular "spray" on the back of the piece (possibly Lorenzenite, Lemoynite or Niobokupletskite???). Good quality and hard to find on the market these days, especially since collecting is now OFF LIMITS at the quarry. Priced at $900.
