    Description

    Wollastonite is rare enough on its own. But to find good quality wollastonite is a true needle in a haystack, as they say. If you google around you'll be lucky to find a single specimen for sale from a reputable mineral dealer. There can be a small handful on ebay but I've not seen any with luster much less crystallization. This piece has both. Not every collector will appreciate the rarity or quality of a piece like this but highly attuned collectors will recognize this for the special piece that it is!
    NOTE: This piece does fluoresce but not to the degree of those found in the U.S. Pic attached. Vug pictures taken with 30mm macro lens and other pics taken with my iphone.
