Perfect Leucite Crystal in Matrix
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
Leucite is a relatively rare feldspathoid, and this is a classic for the species. The trapezohedral crystal is sharp, the color is good, and the luster very good. And the coup de grace is an Augite crystal embedded in the Leucite crystal that for all the world will remind you of Snoopy.
