Item Description
A 2.1 cm, gemmy, grayish-purple, textbook, hexagonal, doubly terminated apatite crystal is jauntily set on the surprising mounded combination matrix. The apatite rests on matrix of splendent, metallic arsenopyrite crystals, a few scattered brown siderite disks and books of pearlescent muscovite plates. The SURPRISE is on the back, as everything topside rests on a 5.5 cm, sharply terminated, glassy, water-clear to translucent quartz crystal! Classic, choice, aesthetic and unusual combination material from this famed locale from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
