Item Description

A classic and excellent Panasqueira combination thumbnail. A gorgeous, gemmy, 1.5 cm, color-zoned, olive-green, textbook hexagonal, fluorapatite crystal is aesthetically attached to an intergrown pair of glassy, transparent to translucent, sharply terminated, quartz crystals. Pearlescent muscovites are a super accent. The quartz terminations are pristine and the apatite crystal has only the most trivial of edge wear. A striking and choice specimen from this renowned locale. Ex Will Henderson Collection.
