Item Description
A classic and classy pair of crossed neptunite crystals on starkly contrasting natrolite from the famous and essentially extinct Dallas Gem Mine. The sharply terminated, highly lustrous, jet-black crystals, 2.1 cm, have classic zones of wine-red gemminess under strong light. Very nearly pristine, with only the most trivial of temination wear. This nifty, highly representative piece displays well without aid.
