Item Description
Beautifully gemmy and lustrous, bright royal-blue, pentagonite blades form an elegant and striking, 1.7 cm, cluster aesthetically mounted on the vuggy matrix lined with glassy, bladed stilbite balls and a superb and striking sprinkling of tiny pentagonite crystal tufts. A trivial bit of bruising is noted to the large pentagonite crystal cluster, but is certainly a very modest detraction, as you can see. The base and the left side have been sawed to enhance the fine display quality. This piece displays beautifully without aid. This is an exceptionally showy and elegant specimen combining this rare zeolite species. Valued at $400-500.
