Apatite with Rutile and Siderite (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

A cool "Alpine-type" association specimen featuring several sharp, lustrous, GEMMY, tabular, modified hexagonal prisms of Apatite which are associated with reticulated, reddish-brown "needles" of Rutile and brownish Siderite rhombs at the base of the piece. Very attractive from both sides, and a great metamorphic specimen from this world-famous mineral producing region in the mountains of Pakistan. Good quality all the way around, and certainly one of the very few pieces of the material that I have seen.
