Item Description

A cool association specimen from Pribram featuring pseudo-cubic colorless crystals of Apophyllite with associated Calcite on matrix. The piece comes from the Uranium Mine #16 and according to the attached label, the piece was mined in 1997. This is the only piece of this material that we've had from this locality, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
