Item Description
Chumar Bakhoor is one of the best-known pegmatite localities in Pakistan producing gorgeous Aquamarines, Fluorites and pink Fluorapatites. This piece is a fantastic display specimen featuring a wonderfully isolated, textbook, razor-sharp, rather lustrous, gemmy, beautiful rosy-pink colored, thick, tabular hexagonal crystal of Fluorapatite measuring 1.8 sitting proudly atop a group of bladed, silvery-grey colored Muscovite matrix. The piece displays beautifully with the FREE included custom lucite base. I cannot find any damage whatsoever on the Apatite (there is a veil INSIDE the crystal, not damage), and if you look on the side / back of the crystal, you can see there is a second sidecar Apatite to give the piece a bit of character. Priced at $3,000 in the inventory. A great piece of this
