Item Description

A gorgeous lime green crystal of pargasite, the normally-ugly rock forming mineral, from the USA, is...well, it is ridiculous! This was in the Al Ordway collection, purchased in 1980 from his friend the field collector Millard Maynard. Emplaced on a matrix of sugary white quartz is a lustrous an translucent, lime green crystal of pargasite, measuring 2.5 cm in length. Especially from this deposit pargasite, a sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, alumo silicate, is an uncommon mineral species. From anywhere, this is good. From USA, it is insanely rare! and colorful...!
