Item Description

A 3.0 cm, water-clear, gem apatite crystal with pretty blush-pink color and textbook, hexagonal form is aesthetically set on the edge of the pearlescent, bladed muscovite plate on this showy and excellent combination specimen from Pakistan. Most of the pristine crystal is so limpid, you can see right through to the muscovite on the back. Highly representative material from Chumar Bakhoor, which produces some of the very best Pakistan apatites..
