Mineral specimen
Scapolite
$100Rs 27,700
A second scapolite specimen from the same general find, distinguished by its green host rock — a marked contrast to the paler matrix typical of this material. The violet-purple scapolite crystals sit at the top of the piece in a compact cluster, with good luster and clean crystal faces against the darker green base beneath them.
Key features: - Natural scapolite crystals in violet-purple, clustered at the specimen's crown - Distinctive green host rock base, uncommon for this locality - Compact, sturdy specimen with a stable base for display - Small Cabinet size, suited to shelf or display case - Untreated, natural color
Paired with our other Scapolite Specimen, this piece shows how much the host rock alone can change a specimen's character — the same mineral, a completely different presentation.
