Item Description
A wonderful and aesthetic example of the now well known pargasite specimens from Pakistan. This specimen came out of the ground about 10 years ago. The juicy crystal has fantastic intense electric-green color, measures 2.4 x 1.7 cm and has good luster with sharp faces. The crystal is jaunitly set atop a mounded matrix of starkly contrasting white marble. Some minor associated golden-brown phlogopite makes for a nice touch. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
