Item Description

The Jaguaracu pegmatite, discovered during World War II, has produced what are arguably the world's finest crystals of milarite, a complex Be-silicate (MINDAT) and this is an exceptional thumbnail example. Aesthetically intergrown parallel-growth translucent yellow-green crystals with textbook hexagonal and sharp pinacoidal terminations form comprise this most excellent 360-degree example. RARE in this quality. Valued at $1000.
