Fluorapatite on Muscovite
Panasqueira is often said to produce the most diverse and interesting crystals in the world, overall, for collectors. They heyday here was in the late 1960s and early 1970s; and recently a renewed - but different - production has come out since about 2015. This is an old style, an old classic habit, and a superb miniature from the Pohl collection. The photos say it all... this is a 2.8 cm across apatite of simply machined perfection, with transparency, gemminess, and color zoning. It could not be made more perfect if you carved it. It is simply a mesmerizing miniature, in person, and very three-dimensional. Dr. Erika Pohl-Ströher - SCH280
