Description
Highly aesthetic, this is a shocking example of the kind of machine-like precision of the crystals found in Itauz in the 1990s and early 2000s, complete and perfect all around. The specimen consists of a spinel twinned single crystal with a lovely patina, with sidecar crystals growing off of its length. Alex had this in his thumbnail collection of course, and it might be cheating a bit... it really IS a miniature, stood vertically. If you arrange it diagonally, it can barely fit into a thumbnail box but is really not properly a thumbnail specimen. It is, however, an exquisite miniature!
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
