Item Description

Glorious rich blue gemmy hauyne microcrystals are nicely scattered in patches on the scuptural pumice and sanidine matrix on this showy and highly representative example from this famous German locale in the Eifel Mountains. Hauyne is an uncommon member of the Sodalite Group. Since November 2014, collecting is strictly forbidden from here. Classic material. This is a alrge and representative matrix piece, but rare in the size
