Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely magnificent example of these two rare species from one of the most exciting finds of recent years!!!
These specimens were part of a very small find of truly exceptional "best of species" material from Inner Mongolia!!!
This specimen consists of a cluster of intergrown sprays of green borcarite crystals that host a rich showing of complex,
colorless translucent cahnite crystals!!! The borcarite crystals range in size up to 1.25cm and are present as sprays of
doubly terminated crystals!!! The borcarite crystals exhibit dark green to slightly bluish green color with areas of marked
clarity!!! The color is very handsome in person and way better than the pics show!!! The borcarite crystals are sharp and
highly lustrous!!! Cahnite was previously most famous from Franklin where the crystals were extremely rare and highly sought
after by collectors!!! This specimen is loaded with complex triangular crystals of cahnite that measure up to 2.5mm!!!
The cahnite crystals exhibit highly complex forms with numerous interpenetrant triangular crystals that are simply incredible upon close examination with a loupe or scope!!! This specimen is in magnificent condition all around and displays stunningly in person!!! This is a killer example of both species and is just loaded with cahnite crystals!!! This valuable specimen is WAY better than the pics show!!! This small find of incredible material was one of the most exciting new finds made in recent years!!! Don't miss out on this rare and valuable opportunity!!! AMAZING rare material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
