Item Description
Richterite is a rare amphibole group silicate, very rarely seen in sharp, gemmy crystals. This is a very fine, well terminated, very gemmy tan crystal with sharp tapered edges from the small find 10 years ago. Complete all-around. The termination is pristine and you can barely tell, that both edges are (very gently) bruised. RARE in this quality. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued by Herb at $250, more than 5 years ago.
