Description
Here we have a superb specimen with well formed and razor sharp desired, light PINK Apophyllite from the famous Samson Mine of St. Andreasberg in Harz Mountains. Dating back to the 1800´s, this miniature is well representative of the classic find at the silver-producing Samson Mine, which was highly unusual and for a long time considered the best of species for Apophyllite! The find contained highly unusual pink Apophyllites, and the crystals here are very gemmy. The luster is excellent and the terminations quite superb. A good, typical miniature for the locality with only minor imperfections. The pictures cannot convey the shape of the crystals, due to the lack of contrast and high gloss of the crystals, so this one is much better in kind.
