Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Wadeite
Locality: Eveslogchorr Mt, Khibiny Massif, Murmansk Oblast, Russia
Size: 2.7 x 2.7 x 2.2 cm
A spectacular, near best-of-species specimen of wadeite consisting of a 1.8cm, tabular, hexagonal prism on an orthoclase-aegirine matrix. If the size and aesthetic positioning on the piece isn't enough, the crystal is a beautiful pale lavender color and resembles an apatite crystal in appearance. Wadeite is a very rare potassium zirconium silicate. Ex. Paul Stahl Collection, and obtained by him in the 1990s from the Fersman Museum deaccessions at a show in Munich. This is a significant specimen for this rare species that is quite aesthetic. The crystal is fully displayed perched atop matrix.
