Item Description

Pink Apophyllites from St Andreasberg are some of the most iconic and classic specimens from any European locality. This attractive small miniature display specimen hosts a sharp, lustrous, translucent, pseudo-cubic crystal of brilliant pink Apophyllite measuring 4 mm aesthetically set on matrix. Good quality all around, and the color is just so eye-catching, especially for a spieces that is often found in colorless examples.
