Elpidite - richly crystallized cluster

Item Description

Striking jackstraw sprays of pearlescent, tan, acicular to bladed, elpidite crystals form an impressive 360-degree specimen on this very fine piece from the Kola Peninsula. Elpidite is a relatively rare hydrated sodium zirconium silicate and this is a really good and rich one. A very lightweight specimen. Valued at $400 for rich richness, quality and rarity.
