Item Description
A 1.3 cm, sharply terminated, jet-black, babingtonite crystal is aesthetically set in the calcite-lined vug on this very showy and excellent miniature from the famous Lane quarries. Always desirable material from this noted East Coast locale and this is a larger crystal. Long considered the finest examples of the species until the recent Chinese finds. Ex Schlichter Collection.
