Vivid purple crystals of Hackmanite to 1.8cm in size on matrix with Fluorichterite. The crystals on this specimen are exceptional in many ways. First, the color is a saturated purple compared to most which are pale blue or pale purple. The crystals also have sharp edges and luster - so many have more worn looking or rounded edges. The main crystal is also very 3 dimensional sticking up off the matrix with crystal faces all around. A superb Hackmanite with undamaged crystals. Ex. Carl Acosta, Paul Stahl collections.
