Harmotome (classic locale) ex Jaime Bird Coll.

Item Description

A classic, old-time specimen of lustrous, pearlescent harmotome crystals to 2.0 cm on mounded matrix from the famous Bellsgrove Mine at Strontian, Scotland. Harmotome is a rare zeolite group mineral and many of the crystals are cyclic twins, including the largest, prominently placed large crystal. A fine, showy piece. New ones came out recently in the late 90s, but the older ones, to my mind, are better as they have more robust and isolated xls as you see hre. This one, I'd say $400. Ex Jamie Bird Collection, a California collector from the 1960s-1980s.
