Single crystal of translucent to 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 has large, flat glossy faces on the front and sides and is partially intergrown with Mica and Albite. These are not commonly seen and I bought the entire pocket that was available at this year's Tucson show. A rarity for a gem crystal collector.
