Item Description

A superb and aesthetic specimen of highly lustrous blades of Arfvedsonite, combined with Feldspar crystals. The major Arfvessonite crystal is 4 cm tall and 1.2 cm wide. Yes, we know it looks just like the more common Aegirine from this locality - but on strong light the surface is decidedly green, thus proving this is the more rare species Arfvedsonite. The entire specimen is well-balanced and very attractive.
