Rich small combo specimen of rare gemmy Manganoneptunite crystals decorating well formed tan crystal of Catapleiite pseudomorph after Sodalite with Aegirine and Serandite. The piece comes from the famous Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada. The Manganoneptunites are with intense wine-red color and rhombohedral habit. They have perfect sharp shape, strong luster and are gemmy. Black Aegirine needle crystal gives excellent finish. The final accent is small salmon pink Serandite crystals. Ref: The Mineralogical Record, 21, 332-333. In very good condition – some minor nicks. On acrylic base.

Fantastic!
