Item Description
A showy, excellent and rare combination specimen from this obscure Utah locale. Gemmy and lustrous, yellow-green, textbook hexagonal, apatite crystals to 2.5 cm are aesthetically scattered on the spongy matrix, entirely of olive -green epidote crystals. Periphery wear is noted, but is certainly not detracting to this striking and uncommon piece.
