Item Description

Sharp andalusite crystals and classic staurolite "crosses" are known from this less well-known quarry in metamorphics and pegmatite, but are very seldom on the market. This is a sharp, lightly tapered, lustrous and translucent, crystal with honey-brown color. A very fine and rare example of the species from this locale.
