Item Description
A cool "Alpine-type" association specimen featuring several sharp, lustrous, GEMMY, tabular, modified hexagonal prisms of Apatite which are associated with brownish Siderite rhombs. The largest Apatite measures 1.1 cm, and the largest Siderite measures 8 mm. Very attractive 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.
