Apophyllite (rare pink color) (ex Dr. Miguel Romero Collection)

Item Description

When I first saw this specimen I was reminded of the classic pastel pink apophyllites from St Andreasberg, Germany. This piece is just as fine of quality as it's loaded with dozens of highly lustrous/resinous, gemmy, soft pink color tetragonal crystals measuring up to 1.6 cm on matrix. For the most part, the piece is in excellent shape, with only a few superficial bruises that I can see around the periphery. You just don't see hand sized display specimen of this material that in such great condition. Pink Apophyllite is not common, and if you collect display specimens, don't miss out on this one. Classic material from Mexico Priced in the inventory at $1900. From the collection of Senator / Dr. Miguel Romero of Teuhuacan, Mexico.
