Description

On my recent road trip across Europe I have acquired a number of intriguing specimens. Among them, this well shaped dark lorenzenite in the typical alkali-rich matrix. The main crystal is over 1 cm long and it is double terminated, in perfect conditions, displaying smooth and sharp faces with moderate lustre for the specie. A secondary crystal is on the opposite side of the matrix, although partially embedded.
In excellent conditions and very representative for the specie.
