Item Description

Glassy, gemmy, pretty rose fluorapatite crystals with high luster are aesthetically clustered on the sculptural large combination from Chumar Bakhoor. Pearlescent muscovite blades accentuate the apatites and feldspar matrix which includes glassy adularia crystals. The noted bruising on the lower right and bit periphery wear to one apatite are noted, but are certainly only modest detractions to this excellent combination classic from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Bright yellow apatite fluorescence. Valued by Herb at $2500, more than 6 years ago.
