Scapolite
Paprok, Nuristan, Afghanistan
Miniature, 5.6 x 3.2 x 3.0 cm
SOLD
There have been literally thousands of single scapolite crystals brought to the marketplace in the last several years form a variety of lcoalities, but this is one of the very few matrix specimens I have seen from ANY locality. Purple scapolite of this high, gemmy caliber is exceedingly rare. Half a dozen, lilac-colored, gemmy and lustrous scapolite crystals, to 3.0 cm in length, are aesthetically perched on matrix. This would be a fantastic addition to any pegmatite or Pakistani gem crystals suite.
