Item Description
Doubly-terminated, large, floater erythrite crystals of this exceptional quality are rare. This is a supremely iridescent, partially gemmy, magenta, thumbnail erythrite blade with sharp terminations from the famous Bou Azzer District of Morocco. Pristine, except for the very trivial termination wear. This is an outstanding and rare floater example from the well-known 1960s finds at this famous cobalt mining district. Ex Jean Hamel and Jaime Bird Collections. Valued at $500. as a SUPERB thumbnail specimen!
