Item Description

Analcime specimens are RARE from the Goboboseb Mts, famous for world-class smoky quartz, amethyst and prehnite specimens. This is a superb and pristine floater specimen of two striking parallel-growth doubly terminated water-clear quartz crystals accented with small areas of amethyst and smoky color. One sides hosts a number of RARE gem, colorless analcime trapezohedrons, to 8 mm. A multitude of tiny, gemmy, light green spearpoint blades of either prehnite or apophyllite coats the mid-sections, but not the terminations of this exquisite and MOST RARE combination from the Charlie Key Collection. Valued at $500-700 for extreme combination quality and superb quality.
