Item Description
Classic, beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, blue-gray fluorapatite crystals cover the mounded massive arsenopyrite matrix on this very rich and aesthetic small cabinet from the famous Panasqueira Mine. The textbook hexagonal crystals reach 1.4 cm on this excellent piece. A quartz shard on one end and tiny interstitial siderite rhombs add color and contrast. A striking, choice and rich example.
