Item Description

Bustamite is actually fairly uncommon for the Kalahari district, and this is a rich specimen, with intense color. The soft pink hue is not pale its actually quite strongly colored for a pastel hue. Charlie rated this highly, and said it was an unusually thick piece with the kind of color treasured for lapidary use, carvings and such.
