Zircon, Arfvedsonite and Aegirine crystals, partly UV-active, from Mt. Malosa in Zomba, Malawi – 1 unique flat.

 

This collection contains numerous specimens with well-formed and aesthetic crystals of zircon, arfvedsonite and aegirine from one of Malawi’s most important mineral localities. Many pieces display lustrous black to brownish zircon crystals, often with partially translucent edges. Aegirine occurs as slender to prismatic crystals in characteristic bundles, while arfvedsonite is present as dark green to deep black crystals, frequently embedded in contrasting matrix. Under UV light, some pieces exhibit fluorescent areas, making this collection particularly appealing for fans of fluorescent minerals.

Mount Malosa in the Zomba District is renowned for its geologically complex pegmatite and syenite bodies, which host a wide variety of rare minerals. The finds from this locality are known for their high crystal quality and striking parageneses. The flat offered here presents a particularly diverse and visually appealing selection, highlighting the mineralogical richness of this classic African site.

 

The flat shown in the pictures will be shipped with the corresponding box and, if applicable, folding boxes. These may be partially used, show signs of wear, and have multiple labels or markings.
