#04 / BABINGTONITE - $320
Qiaojia, Qiaojia Co., Yunnan, China
5 x 4 x 4 cm
A group of huge undamaged Babingtonite crystals on a small dab of Prehnite and with Quartz crystals on the backside. If you have been wanting one of these with very large
crystals, you might want to move it up to a high priority. The Chinese dealers are saying the local is finished and no more will be coming out. These have never been plentiful and
have always been expensive. I've seen obscene prices on these, so here is a good one with large crystals, that self stands, and is priced way low !
