Description

You are bidding on a small mounted sample with an exceptionally rare, pale pink, sharp crystal of pahasapaite on a small bit of matrix with white plates of englishite, brown roscherite and needles of tiptopite. This is one of the rarest and most sought after items I have ever offered here on e-rocks! Don't miss this opportunity to own one of the holy grail phosphate/zeolite species! Reserve lowered from last week.
