Item Description

A cluster of soft blue color, undamaged, translucent, tabular Apatite crystals which measure up to 1.2 cm across on stark white feldspar matrix with minor Muscovite. The Apatites have good form and are aesthetically perched on the specimen as the photos clearly illustrate. Blue Apatites are not common from any locality, and this piece is very attractive.
