Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of hauyne from Italy!!! This specimen hosts a group of large, complex crystals of
hauyne on matrix!!! The crystals are absolutely huge for the species!!! This specimen hosts a prominent
cluster of large, intergrown crystals with individual crystals measuring to an incredible 2cm!!! The
crystals show glassy, well defined faces with a compbination of rounded and angular features!!! There are
significant areas of partially etched crystals as well!!! The crystals have
a grayish-whitish color with marked translucence!!! Simply a fantastic example of the species!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer
