Phosphophyllite

Item Description

This is one of the most rare and beautiful species in the mineral world, and arguably, the most highly sought after phosphate species extant. It is not only highly sought after, but in recent years has been dubbed the "Holy Grail" of mineral species for collectors. Many collectors and dealers alike treasure this species for its immense scarcity and immeasurable combination of form and color. This specimen features exceptionally rare, lustrous, GEM/gemmy incredibly beautiful blue green color, crystal sections of the great phosphate associated with massive, deep reddish-black Sphalerite on the back. Please note that specimens of Phosphophyllite simply are NOT seen in today's market, in ANY format. This piece is a very attractive and good-sized specimen, but please note it is not complete as there are some contacts.
