Raspite with Stolzite
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
An extraordinarily rich specimen of the extremely rare tungstate Raspite, with brilliantly lustrous, gemmy, bright crystals to 3 mm perched on a solid matrix. The larger orange platy crystals are Stolzite. This vug is largely protected by the 3-dimensional curve of the piece. It is a lot of concentrated Raspite in one place. Some crystals, it appears, are twinned. Ex. Al Ordway.
