Pectolite (fine crystals)

Item Description

In addition to the some of the world's best Garnets, the Jeffrey Mine in Canada can lay claim to some of the finest Pectolite crystals found. These well-formed clusters of bladed to tabular Pectolite crystals have excellent luster, good gemminess, and are a medium shade of green. The largest group actually measures 2.1 cm, which is very good for the species and the locality. The white to gray matrix has moderate fluorescence, though I am not quite sure exactly what its composition is. This piece likely dates to the 1970s or early 1980s. A large and very fine specimen for this famous mine. Valued at $1600 for the size, quality and aesthetics.
