Item Description

Very attractive combination specimen with a Serandite crystal as the centerpiece, crowned with two mostly complete Analcime crystals. The Serandite has two zones, a deep salmon inner zone with very good luster, and a lighter salmon, outer rind. Part of the crystal has been removed, allowing a good view of both zones on the bottom and one side. The Analcimes are euhedral and complex, with good luster and the largest being 2.3 cm across. The Serandite/Analcime combination is unusual and desired, and possibly from the famous pockets of late 1976. Either way, it is a nice piece representative of this combination.
