Exceptional combination of
Aegirine crystals with Smoky Quartz on Microcline!
Super aesthetic specimen featuring over half a
dozen terminated Aegirine crystals

crystal lays horizontally in the foreground. This adds not only contrast, but depth
and eye appeal to what can easily be a somewhat unglamorous mineral. Very nice!
