Item Description

Classic and aesthetic small cabinet combination from the famous Panasqueira mines. An impressive, lustrous, well-striated, flattened, jet-black ferberite crystal with a striking modified termination is dramatically accented on the front by a cluster of smaller ferberite crystals richly covered by gemmy color-zoned light olive-green apatite crystals to 6 mm. The "cap" of apatite crystals behind the large feberite is a fine complement. Ex Chet Lemanski Collection and acquired in 1998. The piece displays very well without aid, as the base has been sawed. This combination has very fine compositional architecture. Typical mustard-yellow apatite fluorescence.
