Item Description

These Pentagonite specimens are truly one of the most exciting recent finds from the Deccan Trappe in India. Undoubtedly the very finest Pentagonite specimens in the world occur at this locality. This piece features an aesthetic, beautiful, sharp, intense neon blue, "tree"-shaped, aggregate of Pentagonite. A very showy and good quality specimen of this extremely rare (and underappreciated) material. These specimens represent the best of the species, and eventually will no longer be found. I have photographed the Pentagonite under the microscope to show it is truly terminated and beautiful up close.
