Item Description
Excellent, classic, sharp, gemmy, white/colorless prismatic tetragonal crystals of Meionite (Scapolite) measuring up to 5 mm sitting on matrix. This is old time material, and certainly hard to find on the market now. The piece comes to us from an old East Coast collection, with a label from noted New York dealer, Larry Conklin which states that the piece is from the collections of C. U. Shepard, Amherst College and Albert Sebela.
