AugeliteOne of the best twinned Augelite crystals on matrix that Ive handled from Bolivia. The piece was mined in the latter half of 2009. A beautifully isolated, sharp, very lustrous, gemmy, colorless penetration twin of Augelite is sitting on sparkling micro Quartz on matrix. Twins of this size, quality and caliber are simply not seen from Bolivia in virtually any capacity. To have a hand sized display specimen of Augelite from Bolivia, let alone a twinned

and it belongs to the only group of minerals that form naturally “round” or “cylindrical” crystals

Specimen # BULG4114

and superb form

This piece features a pair of beautiful “sunburst”-like sprays of pleasing green color Ludlamite with good luster
