Item Description
A rare and excellent pseudomorph from this well-known locality. Bluish-green sodalite has pseudomorphed sharp, prismatic, afghanite crystals. The hexagonal crystals reach 3.7 cm and all are pristine, except for along the periphery. The base has been sawed to enhance the fine display quality of the uncommon piece from the Bob Trimingham Collection.
