Item Description
Classic leucite crystals aethetically set in sculptural volcanic tuff from a famous Italian locale. The bone-white, sharp crystals have textbook tetragonal form and the very well-placed large crystal is 2.8 cm across. The locality is in a protected area, where collecting is supposedly prohibited. Older material from the John Ydren Collection and comes with a faded label.
