Eosphorite with Topaz on Albite (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

This is certainly one of the better display specimen from this very isolated yet exciting discovering. It features a few, alluring euhedral crystals of bright orange color Eosphorite measuring up to 8 mm long which are associated with a complete, GEM/gemmy, sharp, lustrous, slightly smoky color Topaz crystal (plus a smaller one at the base) along with a few pale pinkish-purple crystal aggregates of Lepidolite on white Albite (var: "Cleavelandite") matrix. The specimen is simply one of the most attractive association specimens I have seen of this material, and it seems to be impossible to find on the market now. The piece is valued at $1100 retail. A superb and aesthetic small cabinet size specimen featuring the brightest color Eosphorite that I have seen from any pegmatite locality.
