Item Description
Pargasite is an uncommon member of the Amphibole Supergroup. A 1.3 cm, terminated, glassy and gemmy, intensely electric-green crystal is aesthetically set on the starkly contrasting marble matrix. These came out about 15 years ago, with none since. Excellent material from the Herb Obdda dealer stock and valued by Herb at $500, more than five years ago. SUPERB quality, here.
