This is an excellent Parisite (Ce) aesthetically situated on a matrix that originates from the renowned Zagi Mountain in Hameed Abad Kafoor Dheri, Peshawar District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan—a locality famous for yielding some of the finest rare-earth mineral crystals in the world. The region is particularly known for producing well-formed specimens of Parisite, Bastnäsite, and Xenotime, often in striking colors and sharp crystallographic habits.

This toenail-sized specimen features excellent brown color, measuring 3.5 x 3 x 2 cm and weighing 41 grams. Parisite (Ce) from Zagi Mountain is considered a mineralogical prize due to its rarity. The region’s overall quality of mineralization is impressive. This fine, well-preserved example would be an outstanding addition to any collection of rare-earth minerals.
