Item Description
A beautiful thumbnail specimen featuring gemmy, sharp, lustrous, translucent, purple to silvery-lilac Apatite crystals on white Albite crystals with greenish-golden Muscovite. This piece hails from the famous Golconda Mine of Brazil and is a highly desirable old-timer from the 1970s. Good quality and hard to find these days.
