Description:This dramatic piece is from a now-classic and very distinctive find of 2007-2008. It features 2 very lustrous, very blue crystals of 4.5 and 4 cm height, perched in the center of blocky crystallized albites. As you can see, the cluster is a bit complex. The larger crystal wsa broken and rehealed in situ (as typical of the pocket), and so it is terminated but has a strange, melted look to the temrination which contrasts starkly with the sharp hexagonal temrination of the slender, intergrown crystal. An excellent example of a very distinct pocket, valued $2000 at least. 820 grams.
