Description
Sarbaiskoe Deposit (Sarbai), Rudny, Kostanany Province (Kostanai Oblast’), Kazakhstan
Radial growth of gray stellerite has formed this beautiful and large hemispheric specimen. The surface is rich with details and the coalescing patches form step off on the top. The details are enhanced by its top luster – making the piece wet appearing. Small blades of calcite are a nice detail to the piece. The stellerite is fluorescent in a chalky yellow color with the calcite being orange. The edges of the piece are incomplete, but do show the radiating crystals nicely in cross section. Ex.
