Item Description

Powder-blue, pearlescent, translucent, kyanite blades are richly embedded on all sides of this dramatic, sculptural and colorful specimen from this classic Swiss locale. The blades reach about 5.4 cm on this rich and excellent example from an East Coast collection specializing in old classic locales, which we have been auctioning off. Comes with a Bentley's Minerals label, that dates to the 1970s. This is a huge, rich example for this remote and hard to collect locale
