fine Mellite crystal (rare) fluorescent ex Obodda

Item Description

Very uncommon on the market, this is a fine matrix example of the unique, organic-based mineral mellite, most of which come from Hungary. The two well-placed, sharp crystals have textbook tetragonal form, fine luster and translucence and classic mottled brown color. Both tips are very gently bruised, which is certainly not a detraction. An excellent display quality miniature of this rarity. You just do not see these for sale often! Ghostly white fluorescence. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this excellent piece at $450, more than five years ago.
