Item Description

This is an incredibly rare find—a lustrous, translucent PHOSPHOPHYLLITE crystal with GORGEOUS COLOR, TYPICAL OF ONLY THIS ONE HOLY GRAIL OF ALL RARE MINERALS!! The piece shows multiple good faces in the frontal and middle areas, although the edges are cleaved (broken). Still, its a PHOSPHO! And it looks good from the front. Minor matrix, is a welcome addition to display as these so rarely have any matrix. The style indicates it is old, from material found in the 1960s or earlier. The color on these is unique and this is a rare chance to get a nice display matrix piece that looks good (from the front) at a fair price, because of the admitted contact/break to the sides. Ex Jingnan (Tom) Zhang.
