Gem Eosphorite on Quartz (SUPER combo)

Item Description

A SUPERB, OLD-TIME and DRAMATIC combination piece of gemmy, golden-brown eosphorite blades totally covering one-half of a water-clear quartz crystal, that has a partial overgrowth of frosted quartz. Essentially pristine, with only one tiny point of contact on the upper left side of the eosphorite field! This fantastic, showy and rare combo piece is from 1960s-70s finds at the renowned Lavra da Ilha pegmatite, located on a island in the Jequitinhonha River, Minas Gerais. The pegmatite could only be mined when water levels were low! VERY SELDOM on the market in this quality and combination. Valued at $600-800.
