Single crystal of translucent to transparent yellow Amblygonite set in Albite from Brazil. Amblygonite is a rare lithium-aluminum phosphate species that is not commonly seen in fine display quality crystals. This crystal has glassy faces on the front and sides and is perched in 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 for a gem crystal collector.
