Description

Aegirine in this dimension is very, very rare and usually we expect this dimension only from Ount Malosa - from Canada this is crazy exceptional. The crystal is sharp and lustrous - end-point are btoom was conacted to mother rock and had no more room to grow. Should be high valued for the locality!
