Rare Merelani specimen featuring elongated faden Tsavorite crystals on both sides of a black Sphene crystal. The Merelani Tanzanite mines produce alot of great mineral specimens, but Sphene are one of the less common and lesser known species. The combination of the Tsavorite and Sphene makes for a great Merelani suite specimen or a nice rarity for any collection.
