Item Description

A fantastic and rare combination specimen from Paraiba, Brazil. A gemmy and lustrous, 2.1 cm, textbook, hexagonal, apatite crystal is aesthetically perched at the base of a complete all-around and pristine, water-clear, lightly frosted, quartz crystal oblelisk. The apatite has a gorgeous, "pariaba blue" rim followed by a colorless zone, with a grass-green core. Striking and beautiful, indeed!
