Enstatite (rare old classic) Trimingham Coll.

Item Description

Large, sharp, euhedral enstatite crystals are quite rare and desirable from this famous old Norway locale. This tabular, orthorhombic, prismatic crystal is olive-green and has a pearlescent luster. Complete all-around. Part of the termination and sides are contacted, but there is little actual damage. RARE in this large size and quality from ANY worldwide locality! Ex Bob Trimingham Collection. Purchased from Larry Conklin and formerly in the collection of John Legro (1841-1923). Legro acquired the piece before 1890, according to the label. Not pretty to look at, but a great and rare crystal of the species.
