Fluorapophyllite
Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India
Miniature, 5.0 x 4.4 x 2.3 cm
SOLD
This is another superb, natural, "floater." The luster of the smaller crystals emits a sparkle than gives the whole specimen a jewel-like appearance, like nothing els eI have seen from here. IT IS LITERALLY a jewel of a specimen, like multifaceted glass, throwing reflections all over the place. It features a doubly terminated, transparent, lustrous, light pink, fluorapophyllite crystal, to 4.5 cm in length, surrounded by a host of smaller apophyllite crystals of the same color (caused by freckles of matrix attached to the back shining through). This is a unique, and exceptional, specimen that warrants a price higher than just a typical clear apophyllite might...and in person, the reason is obvious, I assure you.
