Description

Hi All, this auction is part of a series of ‘Clear-out Minerals’ Clear-out auctions. This specimen and the majority of others on offer this have a starting price 50% or more lower than in all previous auctions. Happy bidding.A very nice group of black, reflective, terminated aegirine crystals. This was a difficult specimen to photograph and I failed miserably as it is much darker and reflective than the images indicate.
