Posted by: Raymond McDougall on 05.08.2015 | Filed under: Latest, Recent Mineral Updates

This Malawi Update (click here) features a small number of selected, different, specimens from well-known Mount Malosa (the world’s top locality for fine aegirine crystals), and two super aegirine crystals from a recent find at the Mulanje Massif, over 100 km to the south of Mount Malosa.  The large cluster of radiating aegirine crystals is super!
