Fascinating combo piece of rare gemmy Manganoneptunite crystals decorating well formed tan crystal of Catapleiite pseudomorph after Sodalite on white Microcline base, with Aegirine, Albite, Polylithionite, Serandite – 7 minerals. The Manganoneptunites are with intense dark red color and rhombohedral habit. They have perfect sharp shape, good luster and are gemmy. Black Aegirine needle crystals are seen in the base. Colorless plates of Albite and sparkling Polylithionite rosettes are present too. The final accent is very small salmon pink Serandite crystals. Ref: The Mineralogical Record, 21, 332-333. In good condition – some contacts and nicks. On acrylic base.
Amazing specimen of 7 minerals!
