Item Description

Two, sharp, moderately lustrous, ultramarine-blue, modified dodecahedrons are jauntily set on the top of the mound of sparkly sugary marble on this excellent and aesthetic small cabinet from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Both crystals are 2.0 cm and are pristine. Classic lazurite is now a variety of hauyne, a Sodalite Group species. Modest pink marble fluorescence. Choice material from the famous Type Locality. Valued by Herb at $400 over six years ago, it is worth more today.
