There is some damage and contact around the sides, yes, but in this case it does not bother me one bit because of two reasons: 1)it displays well from the front and has EXCELLENT gemminess and color; and 2) simply, what this crystal IS....something so rare most of us will never even touch one of quality. It has phenomenal color among the deepest ever found in the species...it REALLY almost glows with it, in fact. The color is unique and it will stand out in your showcase unbelieveably well. This is some 60 years out of the ground. They they have found a trickle of relatively pale crystals since, nothing approaching the quality of these original specimens has been found in over half a century so it seems a relatively safe bet that , with time, they will get only rarer and apprecaite all the more.

To get a good one, to even see a good one, is almost impossible. To get a LARGE and good one, that has some show value beyond being a killer little crystal , this is uncommon in the extreme! This specimen has a 2-INCH crystal cluster shooting starkly upright from a well-trimmed matrix. The color is phenomenal - the classic, and totally unique blue-green color with high saturation. The crystals are stacked like plates against each other, culminating in a very sharp and totally gemmy-clear termination atop. The crystal cluster seems to have grown in a thin seam, straight up or down as the case may be, and matrix which attached along the front has been carefully removed to leave a series of micro-faces where crystal growth was constrained, but this is not damage. A small bit of contact damage does exist, on the very left side of the cluster. The right side is terminated with outward-pointing faces showing nice patterns of crystallization on their surfaces, and just a slight bit of edge wear atop those side faces. The gemmy, stepped terminations are complete, and stand above the bulk of the cluster to really show off nicely. I have had in my life only 3 major phosphophyllites, and this is perhaps the best \"bang for the buck\" of them, in terms of owning something large and showy that does not completely break all price horizons (as other phosphophylites might), because I was lucky enough to buy this as a \"fixer-upper\" in need of a trim and clean. I cannot emphasize enough the uniqueness of the color, or the rarity of getting such a large and showy specimen of this incredibly rare, gem species. Most of them were found in the 1930s and 1940s, with jus ta small trickle turning up despite intensive efforts, in all the years since.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>",1800,1749,{"id":268,"source_url":269,"license_code":183,"credit_html":270,"title":271,"description":272,"author":187,"original_width":273,"original_height":213},73908,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10161189","Robert M.

The Hagendorf area is one of the most classic European pegmatites, and is actually the type locality for several phosphate species, not just Phosphophyllite. The area is split into two pegmatites (north and south), with the south pegmatite being the more famous of the two. This piece is a classic and rarely seen small cabinet sized specimen featuring a few sharp, somewhat lustrous, gemmy to translucent, light blue-green color crystals of Phosphophyllite up to 8 mm which are associated with dark blue, layered crystal groups of altered Vivianite on a silvery Muscovite matrix. Simply put, these specimens are extremely difficult to obtain, and this piece could easily be at least 50-70 years old (dating from 1940 to 1960). A great association piece from this classic locality. Ex.
