Item Description
Bright orange bladed rosettes of the rare axinite group mineral tinzenite richly cover matrix along with sharp, transparent to translucent quartz crystals from Italy. A very nice contrast! From a recent one-time pocket of the material. A trivial bit of bruising is noted, but certainly nothing to detraction. No more are available. Valued at $400.
