Item Description
Sharp, splendent to coated, anatase crystals, to 6 mm, with classic, tapered tetragonal form and scattered brown brookite blades to 5 mm are very attratively set on the very sculptural schist matrix. The striking, sloping face is covered with a myriad of tiny anatases and sparkly chlorite crystals. The base has been sawed to enhance the outstanding display quality of this very fine and uncommon piece from the Dodo Mine. These came out in the early to mid 1990s, with none since. Choice and rare combination material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. His label says the Puiva Mine, but that is incorrect. Value today???
