A very colorful association specimen featuring many lilac colored, sharp, gemmy, hexagonal Apatite crystals which are associated with a few gemmy, prismatic green Tourmaline crystals on contrasting off-white color Feldspar matrix. The piece can be displayed from either side, one shows the associated Tourmaline crystals, but perhaps the best Apatite crystal is on the reverse side of the specimen. This association of two well known gem pegmatite species is not very common to find in the mineral world, and the color combination is very appealing. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
