A striking bastnäsite crystal rising proudly from its host matrix, this fine specimen hails from the famed Zagi Mountain in Pakistan. The crystal displays a rich reddish-brown hue with excellent luster and sharp faces, perched perfectly on a contrasting bed of tan and black-speckled matrix.

The termination is smooth and well-preserved, revealing subtle internal zoning and a glassy finish that reflects light beautifully. Zagi bastnäsite specimens are highly sought after for their vivid colors, form, and rarity in matrix specimens. This piece is an outstanding representation of the locality’s mineral wealth and aesthetic appeal.
