Description

Dramatic elongated crystal of jet black aegirine with outstanding lustre, beautifully decorated with a dozen of cream white orthoclase crystals of pretty good quality. Double parallel termination for the aegirine!

This is a very good specimen belonging to the good segment of collected specimens.

Excellent lustre and color contrast, this is a specimen to truly admire on a plinth and in rotation.
With negligible to no peripheral bruising, this specimen represents excellent display material.

Acquired a few years ago, it is part of a selected lot of ex Kristalle stock I have been lucky enough to acquire.
