Description

Euclase
Gachalá, Cundinamarca Department
Colombia

This fine Euclase crystal displays a saturated teal-blue to seafoam coloration, with excellent transparency and sharp prism faces. Its lustrous termination and vertical striations highlight the mineral's classic monoclinic crystal habit. A secondary crystal emerges from the main face, adding visual complexity and depth to the piece, while tiny, embedded inclusions offer a natural, unaltered character. Though the exact origin of this specimen is unknown, its form and hue are characteristic of top-tier Euclase crystals from notable pegmatitic environments. Highly sought after for its rarity and brilliance, Euclase is seldom found in such complete and aesthetic condition. A captivating miniature example for the advanced collector.
Measurements: 1.05 x 0.70 x 0.36 inches (2.67 x 1.77 x 0.91 cm)

Provenance: Property of a Distinguished Southern California Collector
