Gemmy single crystal of transparent yellow Amblygonite from Brazil. Amblygonite is a rare lithium-aluminum phosphate species that is not commonly seen in fine display quality crystals. This crystal is well terminated with good crystals faces on front and sides and a cleavage face on back. These are not commonly seen and I bought the entire pocket that was available at this year's Tucson show. A rarity for a thumbnail collector or gem crystal collector.
