120,00
Natural eudialyte crystal on matrix from the Kola Peninsula, Russia – one of the world’s classic localities for this rare zirconium silicate.
The specimen features a well-defined eudialyte crystal embedded in a contrasting host rock. The deep red to pink coloration stands out against the darker matrix, typical for Kola occurrences. Crystals of this size and visibility are uncommon, making the piece attractive for both collectors and display.
Eudialyte is valued for its complex chemistry and limited occurrence. Fine crystal specimens from Russia are increasingly difficult to source on the European market.

Mineralogy

udialyte is a complex zirconium-bearing silicate typically forming granular masses. Well-formed crystals are rare and mostly limited to alkaline complexes such as the Kola Peninsula. It is commonly associated with aegirine, nepheline, and feldspars.

Origin

The Kola Peninsula is the most important source of collectible eudialyte. Specimens from this region are known for their насыщенный цвет → заменить: rich color and characteristic inclusions in a dark matrix.

Why Collect

Visible crystal combined with a classic locality. Such specimens are less common than massive eudialyte. Suitable both for collections and display.
