Item Description
Here we have a wonderful example of the uncommon aluminum silicate Zunyite from a lesser known locality in South Africa. It features beautiful, micro, tetrahedral crystals on/in matrix. The crystals have a soft tan color on the exterior, but strong reddish-orange cores! For you species collectors, this is a great opportunity to pick up a great representative piece of this obscure material. Ex Paolo Matioli Collection, originally from Albert Lewis Kidwell (Kidwellite).
