Item Description
Natrolite and aegirine combination specimens are a classic from the famed Poudrette Quarry and this is a striking and impressive, upright specimen. A protruding knob of sharp, tan, natrolite crystals prominently stands out from the column covered with bursts of scintillating aegirine needles along with a few much larger aegirines. The base has been sawed to enhance the fine display quality. Viewable from either side. Not often available in this very rich and showy combination quality. Ex Schlichter Collection.
