Item Description

A killer combination specimen from Mount Malosa. A striking, 4.0 cm, splendent, aegirine monolith stands proudly over a curved field of very sharp, blocky, pearlescent, microcline crystals, much smaller aegirine crystals and a very rich cluster of sharp, lustrous, translucent, honey-yellow, zircon crystals to 3 mm. The aesthetics are outstanding on this fine piece. Ex Joan Massague Collection. According to his label, he paid $450 for this in 1993 to Herb Obodda. It is worth considerably more today and is a superb, competition level specimen
