Item Description
Three, sharp, gemmy, transparent to translucent brazilianite crystals with classic yellow-green color are aesthetically clustered atop iron oxide-tinted muscovite blades. The large crystal is 1.9 cm. One crystal has a partially cleaved face, which is admittedly a modest detraction to this otherwise very aesthetic old-timer. Ex Louis Zara ( Editor-in-Chief of the 1970s, short-lived (only 8 volumes) Mineral Digest) and Larry Conklin Collections.
