Scapolite from Tanzania has a unique, beautiful golden color AND excellent crystal form which is so absent in other golden-colored scapolites from Brazil. Rarely, they also occur in this large size. This impressive gem crystal is totally transparent and is hefty at 77 grams. It is lustrous, and has a rich amber-yellow color that is consistent throughout the crystal. It is complete all around except only some part of the backside (out of sight). Comes with custom base.
