Item Description

An attractive piece from this very isolated yet exciting discovery. Rarely is Eosphorite found in such bright and gemmy crystals from any locality. Typically the species is brown and opaque, but the few pieces I have seen from Chamachu are some of the best for quality and color that I know of. This specimen hosts a few pastel orange color Eosphorite crystals sit along the side of a gemmy, sharp, partial Quartz crystal which is associated with white/colorless Mica crystals. The largest Eosphorite crystal measures 10 mm in length. Hard to find on the market and really worthwhile for somebody familiar with Eosphorite as a species.
