Rare, sharp Cordierite crystals (ex Whitmore Coll.)

Item Description

Two sharp, intergrown cordierite crystals from this classic New Hampshire locale. The orthorhombic crystals have waxy luster and mottled brownish-green color. The striated face adds real pizzazz. Cordierite from this locality sets the standard for the species. Unlike the ugly material from most places, it is actually pretty here - sometimes. Classic, outstanding and rare material in this quality from the Robert Whitmore Collection. Valued at $600.. This is so rare n the market, generally, and is the last of our stock from the Whitmore collection.
