Translucent to transparent crystal of yellow Amblygonite from Brazil. Amblygonite is a rare lithium-aluminum phosphate species that is not commonly seen in fine display quality crystals. The crystal is 2cm wide, complete all around with glassy surfaces and slight edge chipping and has attached white Albite crystals. These are not commonly seen and I bought the entire pocket that was available at this year's Tucson show. A rarity valued at $200.
