Phosphophyllite

Item Description

Phosphophyllite, with its unique blue-green color and gemminess, is one of the rarest and most desirable mineral species in the world. This rare, large specimen, from a recent find features a 2-7 mm thick vein of phosphophyllite sandwiched between the sulfide and quartz-rich matrix. Two of the phosphos are sharply terminated and highly lustrous, one is very gemmy, while the other is translucent. The gemmy crystal is classic, high-grade material. The translucent crystal is actually 3.0 cm long! Large and rich phosphophyllites like this rarely come on the market and are always valued highly. And it is a matrix specimen, which is uncommon in itself. Fairly priced at $900-1000
