Fine, gemmy crystal of this rare Axinite varietal. Unusually good lavender color (color change from blue to lavender in different lighting) and highly gemmy. Magnesio Axinite is rarely found in complete crystals, usually shards and partial crystals. Though there are a couple tiny dings, this one is remarkably complete, sharp, and lustrous.
