Item Description
A choice example of these excellent specimen of Hydroxyapophyllite-(K) from the famous N'Chwaning Mines in South Africa. Certainly, some of the finest examples of this specific species of Apophyllite have been found at this locality. This small cabinet specimen is loaded with highly lustrous, razor-sharp, well-formed, pseudo-cubic crystals of white Hydroxyapophyllite-(K) measuring up to 1.0 cm on edge, sitting on matrix. No major damage that I can find, and the quality is top-notch for the material as the crystals are about a sharp and glassy as I can remember seeing from the locality. Valued $1,200.
From the collection of James (Skip) Colflesh, by way of Les Presmyk / De Natura.
