Item Description
Axinite specimens from this obscure Pakistan locale are seldom on the market. The sharp blades in this very fine compound thumbnail cluster are extremely gemmy for the species and have beautiful light clove-brown color. Just a bit of bruising is noted to the sharp edges. These compare very favorably with those from France, Russia or California. Ex Herb Obodda Collection # 3017.
