Apatite
Greifenstein Rocks, Ehrenfriedersdorf, Erzgebirge
Saxony, Germany
6.1 x 4.1 x 2 CM (cabinet)
price: $1300
Fall 2015
An old German classic Apatite with sizable purple crystals on contrasting matrix. Crystals are up to 1.6 CM in size with large transparent sections and sharp form. There is an old repair on this piece that is only seen with good magnification. The crystals are overall in good condition but there are some tiny broken quartz and chipped Apatite that is best seen at 10X magnification. This is in very good condition for its age, and the crystal size is huge for the locale. Esthetic. Ex Jorg Walther collection.
