Item Description
Tinaksite and charoite are very rare complex silicates and this remote locality is the Type Locality for both species. This artistic sawed and polished slab looks like an Impressionist painting of an orange-brown plant (tinaksite) with a swirled purple-violet drapery background of charoite. Excellent material from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
