A sculptural and aesthetic, V-shaped matrix is covered with sparkling, gemmy and lustrous, green uvite crystals to 9 mm. One arm of the V is beautifully accented with a cluster of glassy, colorless magnesite crystals. The density of uvites is way above average on this fine piece from recent finds from the Brumado Mine of Brazil.
