Item Description

A highly sculptural and RARE spodumene and quartz matrix specimen from Nuristan. A pristine, 8.5 cm, glassy, translucent, doubly terminated quartz crystal with albite embedded in one termination is dramatically attached to a striking parallel-growth cluster of tabular spodumene crystals. The waxy luster mint-green spodumenes are transparent to translucent and have nifty colorless, frosted/etched, chisel terminations. This outstanding and rare matrix combination is pristine and every turn presents a different perspective to this artistic piece. Choice material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued by Herb at $3000 more than 6 years ago. Valued today is $3500-3750.
