Description

Great classic from Malawi! The aegirine crystals are sharp terminated and end-pointed, they show perfect luster and raise up vertically from snowy white, sparkling feldsapt crystals, which are also well developed. Please note that Feldspat is not etched - all faces are very glossy and show an amazig micro-texture. The whole assemble is well arranged and very aesthetic in variouse positions. In excellent condition damage-wise.
