Item Description
A HUGE and VERY RARE for the locale parisite-(Ce) crystal. The layered, mottled brown brown crudely psuedohexagonal crystal is jauntily accented by the 1.3 cm lustrous aegirine crystal. Both ends, a side and the back are contacted. The back hosts a nifty, 2.1 cm, smokestack-like, tapered, pseudohexagonal parisite crystal. Not pretty to look at, but an extremely large and important large rarity from Mount Malosa. Parisite-(Ce) is a rare REE carbonate. Choice material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued at $1000-1250 for size and rarity.
