Item Description
Green hydroxylherderite only came out in a few pockets and is one of the rarest of Pakistan pegmatite species in specimen form. This wonderful and aesthetic miniature plate features sharp, glassy, gemmy/translucent, mint-green crystals with chisel terminations nicely accented with oxide-coated muscovite plates. The two primary crystals are pristine. Choice and uncommon material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued by Herb at $350, more than 5 years ago. It is certainly worth more today.
