Highly aesthetic Neptunite specimen! Schist matrix covered by white Natrolite with a central cluster of lustrous, prismatic black Neptunite crystals. Neptunite usually forms as jackstraw clusters or indiviudal crystals scattered across the matrix. This isolated, tight cluster is uncommon and visually appealing. This is a newly prepared from material that was mined years ago. Neptunite from this mine is considered the world's best.
