Item Description
Lustrous, well-striated, blocky, jet-black, babingtonite prisms are aesthetically clustered and accented with just a bit of pretty mint-green, prehnite. The large doubly terminated babingtonite is 3.1 cm. This Chinese locality has recently produced some of the finest babingtonites in the world. An excellent and very showy specimen.
