Description

A couple of dark augite crystals nicely lay on this Alpine volcanic matrix specimen. Main augite crystal proudly stands out of the basaltic matrix displaying most of the pseudohexagonal faces with moderate lustre. The other crystal is slightly tilted, so that it looks like an apex partially embedded in the basalt. Quite good lustre and quality for both specie and locality.

In very good conditions, a true Alpine classic oldtimer. Progressively scarcer material with time, this specimen is over 20 years old. From the former Labanti collection (I).
