Large, translucent blue/green single Kornerupine crystal from Tanzania. Though crudely formed, this is the largest I've yet seen from this deposit, which has recently been producing small grains most suitable only for gemstones. Kornerupine is an uncommon borosilicate mineral first discovered in Greenland and named after the Danish geologist Andreas Nikolaus Kornerup. Weighs 14.39 grams.
