A fantastic example of aegirine from Malawi!!! This specimen consists of an aesthetic spray of jet-black aegirine crystals!!! The
aegirine crystals are sharp and highly lustrous!!! The crystals are complete and have complex terminations!!! This specimen is complete
and in superb condition with no appreciable damage to speak of!!! There is a small amount of white orthoclase in association as well!! This specimen retains its original Pohl collection label with a sketch of the
specimen on the reverse!!! This specimen
is from the Wolfgang Pohl collection and retains his original label!!!
Wolfgang Pohl worked in the mining industry in Namibia in the 70s and 80s and was a
prolific collector and dealer during and after this time!!! He would make trips back
and forth to his native Germany trading specimens he had acquired in Africa for
worldwide specimens!!! Pohl was rather meticulous with his labeling and record keeping
with most of the specimens in the collection having catalogue numbers, label with info
on locale, source/dealer info, acquisition date, and any other relevant notes!!!
However, the most interesting feature is that most of the labels also had a small sketch
of the specimen on the reverse side as well!!!
