Baddeleyite

Locality: Phalaborwa, Limpopo Province, South Africa

This is a world-class Baddeleyite with exceptionally sharp form and good lustre! Considering the sheer quality of the crystals, their wonderful vitreous luster, and deep black color, this must be considered as one of the world’s best examples of the species - and it is a perfect large thumb, to boot. 2.5 x 2.2 x 1 cm
