Item Description

A fabulously aesthetic combination from the Shigar Valley and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. A 2.0 cm cluster of lustrous, metallic, parallel-growth tabular columbite-(Fe) crystals is nicely set at the base of an amazingly dramatic pair of pearlescent swallow tail muscovite plates on the highly sculptural blocky albite matrix. Both sides of this surreal piece are beautifully accented by clusters of lustrous, translucent, wine-red spessartine crystals and an unreal 7 mm columbite blade is attached to one of the spessartines. This is an outsanding and essentially pristine, 360-degree combination. Valued at $750-900 and well worth it.
