Item Description
A rich and sculptural cluster of pretty lilac-colored apatite crystals is aesthetically set on bladed cleavelandite matrix on this excellent specimen from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. The sharp, striated, translucent crystals have fine form. Very nifty. The apatites fluoresce yellow. Valued by Herb at $500, more than five years ago. It is worth more today with the ongoing conflict.
