Item Description

A few attractive, sharp, lustrous, GEM/gemmy, golden-green color thin prisms of Clinozoisite sit atop white/colorless Apatite crystal matrix. A little rough around the edges, but still good quality and worthwhile for the association and the locality. The piece is from the famous "Alpine"-type clefts in Pakistan, which in many ways are identical to those of the Alps in Europe, which produce very similar specimens.
