Item Description

Nagar has certainly been one of the most productive for specimens in the last 10-15 years, and one of the premier localities in Pakistan, hands down. From killer Fluorites to amazing Aquamarines, this area have given collectors some very notable minerals over the years. Some of the finest quality Apatite specimens from any pegmatite locality in Pakistan come from Nagar. This specimen features a few sharp, glassy, gemmy, beautiful pink color prismatic crystals of Apatite measuring up to 1.0 cm aesthetically sitting atop a crystallized plate of silvery-golden Muscovite. The piece can be displayed from either side, and is nearly a floater as it is crystallized about 95% of the way around.
