Item Description

A soft pink, 2.1 x 1.7 cm hexagonal crystal of Apatite-(CaF) is sitting on off-white color Albite crystals. The Apatite has great form, with sharp, semi-lustrous faces, and is doubly-terminated. Overall, there is very little damage and the balance of the piece is certainly eye-catching. A relatively hard to find Apatite specimen from this lesser known pegmatite locality in Pakistan.
