Magnesioaxinite

Stunning single crystal of Magnesioaxinite (Axinite-Mg) from Tanzania. These are found as a biproduct of mining for Tanzanite and are only seldom found. This is a good one, with glassy luster, transparency, and nice pink and orange coloration. It's nearly pristine, with just one edge chip, much better than the vast majority. There is also a tiny Calcite crystal and Pyrite near the tip.
