Large, sharp single Sodalite crystal in matrix. The crystal is 3.5cm wide and very well formed compared to most which can appear crude and rounded.
There is damage along one edge of the crystal, but regardless, it's darn impressive. Deep blue color that is translucent along the edges. The base is
sawcut and it stands up perfectly for display. This would be a $1500 crystal without the damage, and I would say at least $300 as is.
