Richterite (Ref: R972)
Kokcha Valley, Badakhshan, Afghanistan
42mm x 32mm x 10mm
$2000
Gem single crystal of Richterite, a rare amphibole group mineral that is seldom seen in sharp, gemmy crystals. Only limited amounts of these were found around the year 2000. Most were just shards only suitable for gem rough; terminated crystals were few and far between. This crystal is the best I've ever owned with both good size and a great termination. Complete and undamaged. Ex. Mike Keim.Data last checked on 14th May 2026
