A rare matrix example of jeremejevite on foitite tourmaline from Namibia!!! Examples of jeremejevite on matrix are quite scarce indeed!!! This
specimen hosts an unusually chunky, 1.2cm crystal of GEM jeremejevite prominently perched on a matrix of compact, fibrous foitite
tourmaline (although it is currently labelled as foitite tourmaline, I am told that it is actually
under investigation as a possible new tourmaline species)!!! The jeremejevite crystal has glassy luster and exhibits a highly complex, etched
habit!!! The crystal is complete and undamaged with gem clarity and handsome cornflower blue color!!! The crystal's complex habit, glassy luster,
and gem clarity come together to created a specimen with a lively internal "glow" and play of light within!!! The crystal is
actually quite thick and would likely yeild a significant faceted gem as well!!! Simply a fantastic example of the species indeed!!! This specimen is
in magnificent condition all around and displays gorgeously in person!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
