Description

This eye-catching specimen from the Kuran wa Munjan District presents multiple clusters of vivid, deep-blue Haüyne crystals dramatically arranged against a snow-white drusy backdrop. The Haüyne crystals are sharply terminated and exhibit nice hextetrahedral geometry, with the largest reaching an impressive 4.9 centimeters in length. Their intense blue coloration contrasts beautifully with glistening associations of golden-yellow Pyrite scattered across the surface, creating a dynamic interplay of color and luster. Subtle but distinctly formed crystals of Molybdenite are also present, isolated across the center and edges of the display face. The bottom of the specimen has been trimmed, allowing the piece to present nicely on its own. From the collection of Daniel "Dan" R. Kennedy.
