A huge, well-crystallized, blocky and gemmy, clove-brown axinite crystal from a very uncommon locality for axinite - Minas Gerais, Brazil. This crystal is remarkably gemmy for its thickness. Some crystal faces are well-striated, while others are as smooth as glass. The intensity and variation in color saturations are fascinating. Ex. Ed Ruggiero Collection.
