A very RARE, MATRIX phosphophyllite crystal specimen from Bolivia! The 2.1 cm wide cluster of sharp, lustrous, sea foam-green crystals are jauntily perched on sulfide matrix. The upper, center crystal faces are undamaged and display well; although the periphery has crystal damage - not detracting given the color and rarity. A matrix phosphophyllite of any quality is RARELY AVAILABLE In ANY MARKET! Many collectors consider phosphophyllite to be the most desirable mineral species in the world. Have at it! 3.7 x 3.0 x 1.2 cm
