Rare Axinite Shard Gemstone Specimen with Pleochroism (Video)

Rare Axinite Shard Gemstone Specimen with Pleochroism (Video)

Axinite is a rare calcium aluminium boro-silicate which has optical pleochroism properties as shown in our video/photos. The term Axinite comes from the ax-head shape which is typical of these crystals. This piece has a tiny Quartz point sticking out from one side. 

Pleochroism is a colour-change when exposed to LED lighting - this batch of Axinite displays cream, brown, orange, yellow, amber, plum, red, and violet colours. 

Specimen measures approx. 2.6cm x 1.7cm x 0.5cm. A rare and unique miniature thumbnail specimen for any fine mineral collector.
