Kammererite- Brilliant red-purple crystals (Ref: AX-30-033)
Kop Krom Mine, Kop Daglari, Erzurum Province, Turkey
78mm x 38mm x 24mm
minID: 621-YLH
A killer in person, top quality chromian Clinoclore (Kammererite) in a quality that is simply not available anymore. Outstanding, unusually brilliant, rich deep purple Kammererite in large well formed crystals. These are transparent gem grade, sharp and in perfect condition. It seems there will not be anymore Kammererite from Turkey, even average pieces are now hard to get classics. Widely regarded as the very best ever found, the Kammererites of Kop Krom stand out worldwide. Most specimens were druses of very small crystals, pretty but not exceptional. However, this specimen has many big 7-8 mm plus sized prisms on a bright druse. Eyecatching display piece that is one of the best in this size. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
