Description

One of the top specimens of the current auction: sagenite 'asterisk' grown on the prism face of a quartz crystal. Sagenite is dark red, with superb metallic lustre. The sagenite grid measures up to 1.8 cm and features the typical twinning, which contrasts really nicely with the quartz. 

An excellent specimen from Turbenalp, the best I have ever handled of this quality!
