Item Description
An aesthetic and nifty neptunite specimen from the famous Dallas Gem Mine. Sharp, lustrous, jet-black, neptunite prisms to 1.4 cm surround a "snowbank" of natrolite on the serpentine matrix. The sculptural quality of this miniature is very fine. All of the many major neptunites are pristine. A bit of periphery wear is noted, but has no impact on the excellence of this piece. Ex Jaime Bird Collection. Classic older Gem Mine material.
