Item Description
An extremely rich and uncommon hydroxylherderite specimen from this classic Maine pegmatite. The mounded piece is essentially solid glassy, translucent, tabular, straw-yellow crystals with a bit of white albite. The crystals reach about 1.3 cm. A hard-to-find specimen from an old locality, this has to be an important East Coast classic! Ex Schlichter Collection. Valued at $700-900.
