Item Description

Two extremely sharp, colorful helvite crystals perched in matrix of feldspar, dotted with unusual green microcrystals of some kind of muscovite species. Largest crystal is a hair over 1 cm. Very aesthetic! The color, sharp gemoetry, and interesting shape make these among world's best of species. This would have been found nearly2 0 years ago, and the locality is closed today, not producing. This SHARP miniature is a competitive-level example of the species, valued $1000-1250. Superb!
