Large single Tsavorite crystal on a small bit of attached Graphite matrix. Though etched, it is completely recrystallized with tiny crystal faces all over. It has a large, flat front display face and thousands of tiny crystal faces all over of the rest of the specimen, except for the tiny patch of Graphite. Besides neat and unusual crystallization, it's big! Nearly 3cm in size which is significant for a Tsavorite. Valued at $600.
