A strikingly set upright, 1.4 cm, splendent, jet-black, tabular, tantalite-(Mn) crystal on albite crystal matrix is exquisitely accented on one side with a 6 mm, gemmy pink fluorapatite crystal. Bright yellow fluorescence. Very seldom will you see such a cute 360-degree combination specimen from Pakistan.
