A lovely specimen with pseudo-hexagonal crystals, the piece is richly deposited with red-pink individual and intergrown crystals of Ephesite which is a rare lithium sodium aluminum silicate. There are two 'shelfs' on the specimen which have an outstanding rich display of this rare mineral. The largest crystal measures 6mm. There is some contact around the peripheral where it was attached to another matrix.
