Item Description

An EXTREMELY RARE and aesthetic combination from a most obscure Pakistan locale and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Striking, sharp, intergrown, tabular, hexagonal apatite crystals are richly included and rest on a dense bed of green ferro-actinolite crystals. The very glassy, transparent apatites have colorless terminations and gray mid-sections, which grades downward to greenish-gray near the actinolites. A very nifty and rare two-sided specimen. MINDAT does not list this locality. Value??
