Item Description

Beautiful, gemmy, light violet, hexagonal apatite crystals, to 5 mm, are aesthetically clustered in the upper half of the 3-dimensional massive albite matrix totally covered with scintillating, tiny, gemmy quartz crystals. The apatites fluoresce a modest rich straw-yellow. Classic, excellent and showy combination material from the famous Golconda pegmatite and the Matioli Collection. Probably older material, but no proof.
