Large Brazilian Phenacite Crystal, Carnaiba Mine, 2 lbs 3 oz

Phenacite, also spelled phenakite, is a beryllium silicate and one of the harder and rarer collector crystals to come by in clean pieces.

These come from the Carnaiba mine in Bahia, Brazil, and many carry silvery muscovite mica through the body.

The two most expensive pieces in the shop are here, at 12,000 and 8,800 dollars. Both are priced by weight like everything else.
