SOLD
Panasquiera has produced some of the world's best Apatites over the years, and this specimen upholds that tradition well. The sharp hexagonal crystals, which range up to 2 cm across, have superb luster and range in color from grey to white to clear. The cores are gemmy, as is much of the upper face. Ex. Steve Smale Collection.
