An absolutely stunning example of charoite with the rare species tinaksite!!! This specimen consists of a large, polished slab of
choice, intense purple charolite that hosts several fine crystals of orange tinaksite!!! The tinaksite crystals range in size up to 1.4cm!!! The tinaksite
has lively orange color and marked gemminess - much more so than the pictures show!!! The charoite has a stunning, swirling chatoyant pattern of intense purple that is
simply magnificent in person!!! There are also numerous black to very dark green crystals of aegirine in association, an unidentified
green microcrystalline species folded into the natural edge of the charoite, and possibly other unidentified species as well!!! The overall shape of the specimen,
in combination with the natural edges, makes for a wonderful compliment to the charoite & tinaksite's aesthetic display!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Not just an extraordinary example of charoite, but a superb example of rare tinaksite as well!!!
