Item Description

Nagar has certainly been one of the most productive for specimens in the modern age of mineral collecting. Some of the finest quality Apatite specimens come from the various pegmatites in the Paki Himalayas, especially the pieces from Nagar. This specimen features several sharp, glassy, gemmy, light pink color prismatic crystals of Apatite measuring up to 1.1 cm associated with dark crystals of Muscovite. The piece can be displayed from several angles, and even has a few associated Feldspar crystals for a final touch.
