Item Description

A fantastic display specimen of the contemporary classic GREEN Augelite crystals from Peru. These have put virtually all other Augelites around the world to shame from the standpoint of size and color. This piece features translucent green crystals of Augelite measuring up to 1.3 cm which play host to a spray of GEM quality, colorless, prismatic, hexagonal Quartz crystals. No damage that I can see, and just beautiful. Augelite is typically white or colorless from various world localities, and these Peruvian crystals set a standard for the species in terms of size and color. From the worldwide thumbnail / miniature collection of Irv Brown.
