Description

Remarkable textbook sharp arfvedsonite crystals nicely perched upon creamy orthoclase, with local coatings of Fe oxides. Outstanding luster. 

This is a serious miniature belonging to the good segment of collected specimens.

Excellent color contrast, this is a specimen to truly admire on a plinth and in rotation. 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.
