Ex. Stephen Varni Co. Lapidaries (New York City)

Ex. Sunshine Acres School Mineral Collection

Ex. Neil A. Wintringham Collection


Description/Interesting Notes:

An old time example of enstatite var. bronzite from Austria!!! This specimen consists of a grouping of intergrown crystals of bronzite that exhibit characteristic brassy-golden iridescence when viewed at varying angles!!! The effect is actually a bit similar to what is seen in labradorite - essentially this specimen has a lively golden "labradorescence"!!! This specimen retains old labels from Stephen Varne, the Sunshine Acres School (a very "unique" fully accredited private school - circa 1939, it was part of the nation's first Nudist colony), and the Wintringham Collection!!!
