Item Description
Nacrite is a very uncommon serpentine group species and is extremely rare from Tunisia. Pretty pearlescent, bluish-gray, radial sprays of flattened nacrite blades richly and attractively cover the sculptural dense matrix. This very rare specimen probably dates to the 1960s. Ex Dennis Mullane Collection and comes with Tunisia Geological Service and Laurent Gautron labels.
