Turquoise Ps. After Apatite
near Nacozari, Sonora, Mexico
Small Cabinet, 8.2 x 4.1 x 4.1 cm
SOLD
A very strange pseudo, one of the best I have yet seen from this new find down in Mexico! This crystal is relatively sharp, so far as they go, faithfully showing apatite crystal form even though the crystal is now completely replaced by carving-grade turquoise! This one is slightly sharper than the piece above.
