As my first choice of the lot of several dozen specimens that were brought out at the show, this is special because of the single nice rosette of polylithionite blades perched so delicately at the top of a long stalk of serandite. Few large serandites were in this lot, and of them this was the best poly associated piece. The rosette atop measures a full 3 cm and is somewhat more appealing visually in person. BETTER In PERSON!
