Bloedite (Zinn & Van Tichelen Coll.)

Item Description

A sharp doubly terminated floater crystal of this rare sodium-magnesium sulfate. It does need to be oiled with mineral oil to preserve its hydration state, if in a humid environment. This is a great piece, for quality and symmetry! Most of the crystal is water-clear, with some interior gray veils. An excellent example of this very rare species.
