A fascinating small specimen of very rare crystallized sugilite from NChwaning Mines, Kalahari manganese fields, South Africa. It displays a colorful carpet of sugilite needles growing in a cluster. The vibrant and electric lavender-purple acicular sugilite crystals are very delicate with strong sparkling appearance. The colorfulness of the specimen is tremendous. It shows from all sides. In superb condition. On acrylic base.
Striking!
