Description

What an unique combination! Pink apatite and double terminated, sparkling quartz set on green double-terminated tourmaline - fantastic! The piece is developed as floater, end-poits also at the bottom! The apatite (25mm across) is also doble terminated - sharp on one side, other side wit tiny steps and with small tourmalines at the bottom. The quartz (34mm across) is also double terminated, sharp and lustrous. And there are no repairs at all! The combination might be unique, and it is well formed and very aesthetic. Out of one of Europe´s leading private collection - Ex Fabian Wildfang coll.
