Item Description

An incredibly RARE and aesthetic matrix combination specimen from the famous Stewart Mine. Kunzite is very uncommon in itself, from the Stewart. Classic, pink-tipped, Stewart tourmalines, bladed cleavelandite, that looks just like a reticulated Tsumeb cerussite and gemmy purple lepidolites on the right side, cover most of the glassy, translucent, etched, pretty lilac kunzite crystal. The presentation view is essentially pristine, with only very trivial periphery wear on the sides. Try to find another of this rare combination quality on matrix from this noted locale! Older material from the Rukin Jelks Collection. Valued at $1000-1200
