Description

Cute miniature consisting of the classic Baveno aggregate: smoky quartz, feldspar, albite and zinnwaldite. Smoky quartz appears as 3 crystals in good condition and lustre (for the locality). Albite is epitactically grown, pale pink-orange over pale pink feldspar. Zinnwaldite makes dark green-black flakes of good lustre.

Elegant and very representative of the local paragenesis, overall in good conditions. 
Former collection Labanti (I), dated back to the 90s.
