Item Description
From the find in the late Fall of 2005 in Pakistan. Primary production was in the 1980s and indicolites such as this were never common. The upper 8 mm indicolite zone is very gemmy and is a pretty blue. The termination is coated with albite microcrystals. The basal section of the highly lustrous, well-striated crystal is black schorl and is nicely complemented by more albite. Ex Herb Obodda dealer specimen.
