Item Description
Aesthetically sitting on a matrix of snow white, lustrous, slightly curved Albite crystals is an wonderfully isolated soft pink and green color VERY GEMMY, modified octahedron of Fluorite measuring 2.1 cm across associated with prismatic black Schorl Tourmaline. A fine quality display piece and better in person. No damage to the Fluorite, though some of the Schorls are contacted. A very beautiful combination specimen of this now hard to find material from Pakistan. Please note that the collector label that accompanies the piece says the matrix is Microcline, but I'm sure it's Albite. Additionally, the locality given is the Haramosh Mts, so I'm not sure if the piece is from Stak Nala or another lesser known locality. Valued at $1250.
