Petalite (2-crystal set)

Item Description

Typically Petalite occurs in colorless examples from various world localities, and they rarely are well-crystallized.  This 2-crystal set gives us a different persepctive featuring one very pale straw colored crystal with strong hydrothermal etching on all sides, while the other is a notably well-formed, sharp, GEM quality colorless crystal, free of matrix. The crystals are a great example of how diverse the Petalites can be from Ketchel Village. A very worthwhile gem crystal set specimen that would fit nicely in many collections.
