Description

Cabinet featuring lots of bi piramidal, bright yellow crystals of Stolzite in different vugs. These are associated to a couple of sharp prismatic orange to red crystals of Raspite.

While making the photos, I realized the presence of two black, sub-mm crystals of an additional specie, that I was not able to define (see pictures). Anybody who can help is welcome!

Former Sandro Maggia and Don Franchi collections, Torino, Italy. With labels.

Excellent!
