Item Description
For quality, this is a really nice Kesterite/Mushistonite from Xuebaoding! First off, it does not have that "dingy" dirty brown color to it, but rather the Kesterite is coated with elegant green Mushistonite. The underlain Kesterite is actually totally enveloped by the layer of Mushistonite. One does not often have the opportunity to view such textbook quality Kesterite, and these crystals are classic disphenoids, and are well isolated so they can be examined with ease. Overall, this is a pretty good thumbnail of this exceptionally rare material. Very little damage, but a good sized crystal that's actually attractive!
