Item Description
A striking and unusual combination thumbnail from the famed Poudrette Quarry! Gemmy to translucent cherry-red to red-brown mangan-Neptunite crystals with a single aegirine blade are aesthetically set on a sharp SODALITE, from a rare find here in the 1990s. Complete all-around, this is a sharp thubmnail specimen of unusual nature for the mine. Sodalite is rare here and this find is noted.
