Item Description

A dramatic, sculptural and extremely rich large cluster of hedenbergite included quartz "prases" from this now famous remote mine. Sprays of lustrous, translucent, pistachio-green points project out in all directions on this striking 360-degree specimen. The shear number of crystals and crystal size variability is remarkable. Complete all-around and in great shape for the crystal density. The few broken points and periphery wear on the back have negligible impact to this superior quality of this specimen. The piece displays beautifully without aid. Valued at $1750-2000 for size, richness and exceptional quality. One of the best large Huanggang "prases" with such classic color and smooth luster to have come out. This impressive large combination piece is easily the match for Serifos, Greece or Dal 'negorsk, Russia specimens.
