Aquamarine, Fluorapatite (fluorescent), Schorl ex Obodda

Item Description

A really cute combination miniature from this more obscure Skardu District locality. A gemmy, doubly terminated, light ice-blue, aquamarine crystal is aesthetically set on the side of cluster of pristine, lustrous, schorl crystals. Elegantly set on top and on one end of the aqua are nifty clusters of tiny, glassy, very light pink, tabular, fluorapatie crystals. A few mucscovite plates are also noted. The apatites fluoresce a bright yellow! This very fine, 360-degree combination is pristine. The lower termination of the aqua is partially contacted, but has no damage, per se. Choice and rare combination material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this very showy minnie at $350, five or more years ago. Today it is worth $500-700.
