Item Description
A very rare and fine, old-time combination specimen from Sonora, Mexico and the Dave Stoudt Mexico Collection # 1103. A glassy, translucent, yellow-green apatite crystal is jauntily attached on one side to lustrous, etched, velvet schorl crystals. The sharp, 3.0 cm, textbook, hexagonal crystal has a deep, hoppered cleft on the termination. This is an aesthetic and remarkable association piece from Mexico. Ex Albert Haag (1891-1972), T.M. Phetteplace and Dave Stoudt Collections. Valued highly for rarity and quality.
