Description:A wonderful example of the now well known Pargasite specimens from Pakistan. This specimen came out of the ground about 10 years ago, and is one of the better small cabinet matrix specimens I have offered in the auctions. The main crystal, which has a fantastic intense electric green color, measures 1.0 x 1.0 cm and has good luster with sharp faces. A cluster of smaller, secondary crystals on the back of the specimen make a nice background for the predominant crystal in the front, and are sitting atop a matrix of contrasting white marble matrix. Some minor associated golden-brown Phlogopite makes for a nice touch.
