Kyanite and Staurolite

Kyanite and Staurolite from Pizzo Forno, Tessin, Switzerland

Collection

Robert Lavinsky

Description

A superb locality piece consisting of a combination of terminated, translucent to transparent, sky blue Kyanite crystals to 4.5 cm , accenting deep reddish-brown Staurolite crystals to 2.75 cm. They have grown in a matrix of sugary white, massive Quartz. The Staurolite is especially fine, for the form and translucency of the crystal. All this, plus, coming from an old European alpine vein!
