Malawi Mineral Specimens

 

OKI-490

OKI-490    Zircon on Quartz and Aegirine     Zomba, Malawi, Africa.  When these big aegirines showed up on the market a decade ago they had no rivals (except perhaps the fine ones from Mt. St-Hilaire) but the zircon crystals were never common.  This fine miniature measures 6 x 3.5 x 2.4 cm overall.  The zircons are small but there are hundreds coating at least some portion of all the primary aegirines surface.  A couple of small quartz are missing from the back but otherwise damage free.  300$
