Item Description

Phenakite from this old locality, producing in the 1940s-1950s, is still regarded as the apex of the species. Water-clear, gem, colorless, nailhead tabular prisms to 1.8 cm comprise this showy and rich intergrown crystal cluster. Complete all-around. The periphery wear on one side can be strongly minimized by the display view. A choice and classic thumbnail from this famous locale from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
