Item Description

A cute and excellent combination from this renowned locale. A colorless, gem, 8 mm, apatite crystal is the centerpiece. It is lushly surrounded by snow-white pericline crystals and scattered gemmy epidote prisms to 1.0 cm. Green byssolite needles richly cover the matrix. A few more smaller apatites, mainly in the southwest quadrant, are also noted. Classic material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this at $750, more than ten years ago.
