Gemmy Phenakite xls (Marty Zinn Coll.)

Item Description

Very glassy, transparent, well-formed, lenticular, stacked phenakite crystals from Minas Gerais. Phenakites from Minas Gerais are generally considered to be the world's finest and this is an excellent example. The inclusions add character and this fine piece has several display possibilities. An older specimen from the Marty Zinn Collection # 1454. Probably old-time material, but could be from the 1983 find at the Pica Pau Beryl deposit. Value??
