A strikingly aesthetic 3-dimensional combination of jet-black aegirines (to 3 cm) splaying out from matrix of feldspar! The luster, form, and sharpness of these crystals is WAY above par and most people consider this locale to be the world's finest source for the species...while this piece would be, in quality, right at the top of what has been found to date.
