Description

Over two dozens of excellent crystals of jet black aegirine with outstanding lustre and exceptionally perched on top of feldspar matrix, with a 3D appearance for the entire specimen and pretty much crystallized all around with negligible contacts.

Associated, also a couple of dark smoky quartz crystals.

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. 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.
