Description

Ex A&U Bahmann collection. A fascinating Manebach twin floater, the line of separation is clearly visible in both clean surfaces and the formerly attached newly regrown stepped variants.

The specimen is damage free yet an aegerine crystal appears to be missing leaving behind its mark, the remaining aegerine crystal is fully crystallized in the area of contact so I cant judge when this happened.

Many small zircon crystals have coated newly formed surfaces that were previously attached. The condition is undamaged or near perfect depending on your point of view- I guess you must see the specimen in person to assess it.
