Item Description

Camp Robin is a recent Madagascar locality and this excellent piece is from the 2006 find. A 3.5 cm, bi-colored, liddicoatite crystal is jauntily perched on a euhedral, smoky quartz crystal along with other liddicoatite crystal fragments. The body of the very gemmy and lustrous crystal is two shades of green, while the multiple, pristine terminations are a pleasant pink. Striking and highly representative material from this recent find.
