Item Description

Scorodite is one of the great and desirable rarities from Tsumeb, and are among the world's finest. Few exist on the market, and are seldom seen for sale in ANY quality. This is a fine doubly terminated thumbnail composed of compound pseudo hexagonal crystals. The highly lustrous faces are actually quite gemmy with beautiful blue-green color and show the "alexandrite effect." Iron oxides coat much of both sides of this very nifty, rare and highly representative thumbnail example from this renowned locale. Pristine. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!! valued $750-900
