Known for its distinct tetragonal symmetry, this crystal displays sharp, clean faces and a characteristic glassy-to-pearly luster that makes it glow under direct light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eWhat elevates this piece is its presentation on the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"52\"\u003enatural matrix\u003c\/b\u003e. Finding Scapolite as a \"floater\" or loose crystal is uncommon, but finding it aesthetically perched on its original host rock is a true rarity. The crystal's pale, sophisticated hue contrasts beautifully with the organic texture of the matrix, creating a sculptural \"throne\" effect. This 100% natural and untreated specimen is a must-have for those specializing in rare silicate minerals or the diverse mineralogy of the Hindu Kush.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Premier Fine Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51632536518943,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/5077\/7375\/files\/48.jpg?v=1771066188","url":"https:\/\/premierfineminerals.com\/products\/rare-scapolite-crystal-on-matrix-afghanistan","provider":"Premier Fine Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
