Detailed Description

This specimen hosts a vug of erythrite crystals of the finest quality - sharp, brilliant lustre, mostly transparent crystals to 3mm, rich, top colour. The vug also includes second-generation light pink erythrite, in balls of radiating micro-crystals. In excellent condition, you can find a bent tip with a loupe and there are some incomplete crystals around the vug periphery of course, but very minor. The contrast with the matrix, together with sparkling, colourful crystals make this piece.


About These Erythrites

Erythrite crystals from Bou Azzer are generally regarded as the finest in the world. The challenge with erythrite, however, is to obtain fine-quality specimens - the mineral is so soft and delicate that most specimens are damaged in the removal process or during subsequent transportation. These erythrites are superb quality specimens of this beautiful mineral.
