Gemmy large Scapolite xl (fluorescent)

Item Description

A dramatic, large for the locale, sharply terminated scapolite crystal from Tanzania. Tanzania scapolite has a unique, beautiful golden color AND excellent crystal form which is so absent in other golden-colored scapolites from Brazil or India. This is an excellent gemmy/translucent crystal with frosted striated faces and some interior veils. It is lustrous, and has a rich amber-yellow color that is consistent throughout the crystal. It is complete all around and is in great nearly pristine shape, with only lower contacting on one side. This is certainly only a modest detraction to this striking, excellent and large crystal at 152 grams mass. Red fluorescence.
