Two LARGE crystals of axinite, 5 cm in length, sharp as a razor and with good transparency (for axinite) - sticking up out of matrix. The smaller of the two crystals has a contact (where it grew against another crystal), and the larger crystal has visible edge wear, but this is still a very impressive specimen for the size, fine form and isolation of the crystals. 10.6 x 9.1 x 6.2cm
