Item Description

A classic, 3.7 cm, yellow-green apatite crystal is very aesthetically set upright in the sculptural, unusual and sculptural matrix. The gemmy and lustrous terminated crystal has textbook hexagonal crystal form and the 1.7 cm apatite is a nice complement and accessory. Ex Chet Lemanski Collection # 1277 and acquired in 1985. A very fine and showy small cabinet matrix apatite from famous the Cerro de Mercado iron mine. This is certainly from the old finds here, of the 1950s-1960s era. It has a sharpness, a dramatic display to it, that really is impactful.
