Item Description
Bright orange bladed rosettes of the rare Axinite Group mineral tinzenite richly cover mounded, two-sided 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 on the periphery, but certainly nothing to detraction. No more are available. Choice material.
