Item Description

Very rich coatings of olive green, drusy Anapaite coat the numerous vugs in this large cabinet piece. The microcrystals have excellent luster, creating mounded fields of sparkly green. While the crystals of this rare phosphate are not as large and well-developed (though there is a pocket of mm-size blades) as some of the other Russian specimens, it is nonetheless an excellent specimen. From the Type Locality.
