Item Description
Sharp, highly lustrous jet-black neptunite prisms are aesthetically set on the blocky small cabinet gray-blue serpentine matrix covered with dramatically contrasting snow-white natrolite. The three large terminated prisms reach 2.2 cm. This showy combination from the famous Dallas Gem Mine is artistically enhanced by the two neptunites diverging off of the isolated mound of serpentine and the small neptunites on the edges. The largest crystal, on the right, is pristine. The other two large crystals are gently bruised, which reveals the desirable wine-red color, which some neptunites sometimes have. An excellent, highly representative small cabinet example of this classic combination from Dallas Gem Mine. Valued $800-1000.
