Item Description

Papagoite is an ultra-rare calcium, copper silicate. This excellent miniature features a rich dispersed amount of striking, pretty powder-blue papagoite in the water-clear, complete all-around, quartz crystal. A trivial bit of termination wear and contacting, with very modest bruising, per se, as out of sight on the back of the crystal. Classic and desirable material.
