A remarkable specimen of sharply crystallized, elongate, olive-colored zoisite crystals from this remote mining valley! This is one of a handful of specimens (and one of the very top pieces) brought back to the US by dealer Herb Obodda in 2003. No more showed up this year, so it seems to have been a one-off shot. I think they are really quite dramatic specimens, this one in particular, as the crystals are displayed off the stalk almost like a carefully designed piece of artwork. In the past, sharp single crystals had been found at several times, but this is the first time I am aware of that large matrix specimens of this material turned up. 7.5 x 4 x 2 cm
