Here you get a rarity a gem hibonite, a mineral which isn’t that rare itself but with cutting grade transparency it wasn’t found before. The mineral was mistaken as phlogopite, probably for years. Around 15 pieces have been found with a fine transparency and intact crystals are even rarer. This stone displays a perfect hexagonal bipyramidal idiomorphic shape with two flat terminations. Great reference specimen!
