Elpidite (rare) (ex Geary Murdock Collection)

Item Description

A classic group of prismatic Elpidite crystals is a beautiful "spray" from Mont Saint-Hilaire. The crystals are big for the species and the locality, as you rarely see 4-inch crystals like this, even if they're not terminated. The Poudrette Quarry is now very limited in terms of access for collectors, as very little is coming out these days. From the worldwide collection of noted Idaho collector Geary Murdock. Among other accomplishments, Geary was responsible for discovering some of the finest gem grade deep blue Aquamarine crystals in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho - which remain arguably the finest Aquamarines from any North American locality. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/36634006/geary-jack-murdock
