Zunyite (M349)
During the last few years numerous specimen came from Qalat - these are usually much smaller. This particular specimen is from a different locality: Larak island and the size is spectacular. In my evaluation the most remarkable, largest Zunyite crystals ever discovered world-wide. Also from this locality most material are single crystals - this is one of only a few matrix pieces, which makes it even more special. The crystal is 29mm on edges! It shows red color, satiny luster with amazing texture. Please note that the corners are NOT damaged, these are additional faces!
