Description

Remarkable specimen of airy, very good-sized, gemmy, deep-blue kyanite crystals.

The crystals are finished and have been admirably freed from their gangue. Good crystals of red staurotide can also be seen.

Disthenes and staurotides from Pizzo Forno, Leventina, Ticino, Switzerland.

Exceptional Swiss mineralogy! These are crystals discovered in the 19th century. Today, this type of discovery is almost impossible.

A world-class specimen of Pizzo Forno kyanite, one of the best in existence!

Specimen from the Eric Asselborn collection, a video of which is shown below:
