Item Description
A great example of the now well known Pargasite specimens from Pakistan. This specimen came out of the ground about 10 years ago, and is one of the better miniature matrix specimens I have offered in the auctions. The main crystal has a pleasing green color, and measures 1.2 cm with decent luster sitting atop a matrix of contrasting white marble. Crystallized Pargasite with this color is not common in the world. The crystal is actually a little gemmy, which is not common for this material. From the collection of John Arnaud.
