Item Description
A wonderful and aesthetic cluster of razor-sharp, bladed axinite crystals with superb clove-brown color, excellent clarity, and glassy luster. The blades are attached to a bit of chloritic matrix. Pristine. An outstanding 360-degree specimen and comes with a late 1980s to mid 1990s Ken Roberts label. These Puiva axinites set the world-wide standard for the species and are seldom available in this quality today.
