Item Description
An adorable and classic combination miniature from the famed Poudrette Quarry. One side of the sharply terminated, lustrous, translucent, light salmon-pink, serandite blade hosts a beautiful and aesthetic, interspersed gathering of sharp, tan, natrolite prisms amongst stacked, snow-white, analcime crystals. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only the most trivial, barely noticeable bruising to the natrolites at the top of the piece. Choice material from the Schlichter Collection and probably collected by him in the 1970s.
