Item Description
An elegant, complete all-around and pristine combination specimen from recent finds in the Shigar Valley of Pakistan. Three, hexagonal, gemmy and lustrous, pastel-pink apatite crystals are pleasingly set in front of a water-clear, glassy, quartz crystal. Lustrous, wine-red, rutile needles are included-in and protrude from both the apatite and quartz crystals! A nifty and showy Pakistan combo piece from a small find I have not seen much of. Valued $450
