This sharp, moderately lustrous, doubly terminated, black aegirine crystal is from the Type Locality area in Norway - Langesundsfjorden. The blocky crystal has an interesting, complex termination and the little sidecar crystal is a nice accent. This is a pristine, floater crystal. Classic, old-time material from the John Ydren Collection.
