Item Description
A unique and aesthetic combination floater specimen from the famous 1993-94 finds at Brumado. Rare, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, tabular uvite crystals to 2.2 cm are dichroic, having olive-green and dark peach colors and are smartly set on a striking, doubly terminated, gem quartz crystal. Pristine. The quartz has a contact on one side, but no damage, per se. This very fine piece comes with a Roberts Minerals label. Ken handled most of this find. Valued today at $500-600. Seldom on the market today in this quality, except from recycled advanced collections.
