Description |
This piece features a sharp and robust crystal of Babingtonite that looks like it was carved out of black Onyx, it is so sharp and lustrous. The crystal is 2.4 x 2 x 1 cm in size and is perched right on the edge so you can see all sides, and both terminations. This specimen is possibly the finest miniature for a single isolated crystal of Babingtonite on matrix from this recent startling find - which almost all experts agree has now produced the best of species. A lot of them were mined in the last 2 years and trickled out, but few have this luster or perfection, or even the crystal size on matrix. |
