Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely extraordinary example of riebeckite with quartz from Malawi!!! These Mt. Malosa
riebeckite crystals represent the finest examples of the species known!!! This specimen consists of a group of slightly divergent group of lustrous,
razor-sharp crystals of very dark greenish riebeckite topped by a single crystal of gemmy smoky quartz with a starburst inclusion of epididymite!!!
The riebeckite crystals are pristine and doubly terminated with highlights and flashes of dark green throughout!!! The quartz crystal has a
handsome champagne-colored smokiness with gem clarity and brilliant glassy luster!!! The quartz crystal is also doubly terminated and hosts a
striking radiating spray of epididymite crystals included within!!! This specimen is a KILLER in person - the pics don't even come close to doing it justice!!!
You do not want to miss out on this extraordinary specimen!!!
