Another 0.45 zektzerite faceted in a slightly different square barion design called "Trattola" (center). This gem measures just under 5mm x 5mm. Although somewhat fractured it is very gemmy and very pink. On one side of the girdle there is a slight pitting from the surface of the original rough, barely visible to the naked eye. The polish is perfect and the meet points are excellent.
Finally a .20 ct 4mm x 4mm zektzerite faceted in a round design called "Tensor"(right). Although it has some minor internal craziness, this stone is not fractured and is extremely gemmy and pink.

The zektzerite exhibits a classic pseudohexagonal prismatic form with a sogdianite rim. In addition, the zektzerite measures over 1 inch and is on matrix, a specimen that you rarely will see offered from this classic Washington state locality. There is some contact damage on the backside of the specimen which is not noticeable if displayed from the front and provides a window to the deep gemmy pink interior of this crystal from other angles. Zektzerite crystals of this size with this color are rarely if ever offered and to be aesthetically perched on the contrasting host matrix makes this a specimen to consider adding to your collection. Zektzerite fluoresces a light blue under shortwave ultraviolet light as shown in the final photograph. Micro opal (bright green fluorescence) is also visible on this fantastic specimen.
This wonderful specimen was collected by Max Larsen at Mazama Mine Co. (visit him on Facebook or Instagram). Visit my Washington Pass page at Washington Minerals for more information about this mineral occurence.
