Chalcopyrite & Apatite on Quartz$3,500.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
How is this for a rare and unusual combination from Panasqueira; an elongated section of translucent flattened Quartz has perched on it a well-formed, semi-translucent dark lime-fawn hexagonal Apatite crystal measuring 2.8 x 1.5 cm as well as an individual lustrous brassy golden tetragonal Chalcopyrite crystal measuring 2.5 x 2.0 cm! The Quartz which measures approximately 9.5 x 3 .0 cm is essentially one half of a flattened hexagonal crystal which has, somehow, been divided down its long axis. Three faces of the hexagonal prism therefore remain while the inner flat plane has been 're-healed' on the reverse side. A most unusual habit and combination, yet so perfectly positioned and proportioned, simply choice!
