Russian Treasure from the Earth!! Rare Lorenzenite Aegirine Albite Egg From Kola Peninsula, Russia - 2.3"

Very rare large Egg of brown Lorenzenite ( ramsayite) frozen in black aegirine-rich gray matrix with sugar-like Albite from classic location - Kola Peninsula, Russia.
The Egg made in Russia.
Location: Flora Mt., Lovozero massif, Kola Peninsula, Russia
Size: 5.8 x 4.2 Centimeters
Weight: 135.5 Grams


Interesting Fact: Initially, "Flora" was the name of the triangulation station located on the north slope of Selsurt Mt, close to the well-known lorenzenite mines.
So, strictly speaking, 'Flora' isn't the mountain itself at all, but during the following years, the name of the triangulation station (Flora) replaced the mountain's real name (Selsurt) in the minds of collectors.
The lorenzenite localities include the so-called Ramsayite Point (ramsayite is an old name for lorenzenite) and a small pegmatite in the birch forest a few kilometers away from Ramsayite Point.
