Item Description
A striking, sharp 3.0 cm compound powellite crystal is aesthetically set in matrix on this exceptional specimen from Jalagoan. This is a highly unusual specimen for the intensity of color to the powellite. The crystal has not only intense orange color, but also a glassy luster that is equally outstanding. The contrast to the matrix of sparkling blue quartz druse, on which sits bright and lustrous, shimmering apophyllite crystals, just takes the piece to the next level. It is an outstanding powellite combination piece for the species and locality. Bright yellow fluorescence. Fairly valued at $2500. The color on this is shocking. Simply unobtainable on the market!
