Item Description
This piece is a GEM quality, prismatic, soft yellow color crystal of Scapolite (Marialite-Meionite Series) from the Scapolite Locality in Tamil Nadu, India. I should point out that the crystal is not damage free (it's contacted on one end), but it's still doubly-terminated, as I can see tiny crystallized faces on each end under magnification. As is often the case with any gemmy Scapolite crystal, the color is stronger when viewing the crystal down the "c" axis. These crystals came from a find in 2013, and all but disappeared from the market, as virtually nothing has been seen since. If you collect gem crystals, or specifically Scapolites from around the world, do not miss out on your chance to get your hands on a wonderful representation of these beautiful crystals from this fairly obscure locality. Specimen weight is 5.1 grams.
