Item Description
Razor-sharp, gemmy and lustrous, clove-brown, axinite blades to 1.8 cm form a very cute specimen from the Colebrook Hill Mine of Tasmania. The crystals are also beautifully striated. The large crystal has just a barely noticeable touch of edgewear on the left side. Certainly not a detraction, as the rest of the crystals are pristine. I am not familiar with this locale, but would compare these with the best of France or California. This locale is noted for fine axinites. Ex Wes Parker Collection.
