Item Description
Amphibole Group species are very rare from this Shigar Valley area locale. Ferropargasite is rare amphibole. The jagged, complex termination on this splendent, well-striated, jet-black crystal is pristine. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only trivial side and edge wear. This could be unique for the locale. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this piece at $250, five or more years ago. A must for the locality or species collector.
