Item Description

Axinite is uncommon from the Alpine-style clefts at Tormiq. An aesthetic, two-sided rosette of lustrous, partially translucent clove-brown axinite blades has a cute "cap" of albite crystals with the blades preferentially dusted with micro chlorite crystals. In outstanding shape, overall, with only minimal periphery wear on the sides and base. Excellent and uncommon material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this piece at $500, more than five years ago.
