Phenakite

Item Description

Considered the best of species, Brazilian Phenakites are highly sought-after, and this little gem should definitely be in the hunt. A small miniature, this crystal is much gemmier than the photos can portray due to the small amount of translucence. Sharp and well-formed, this lustrous, tabular Phenakite crystal is contacted only at the bottom. It is a find, and it is clear why this was originally valued at $750 in the 1990s - more so, now! The specimen weighs 21 grams. Very good quality and aesthetics.
