Item Description
Nicely emplaced on the matrix of lustrous white albite are discrete crystals of apatite, to 1.5 cm across, that have sharp tabular form. These crystals are glassy and translucent with a forest green color. Other than some slight contacting to the back of a top edge of the upright crystal on top, this specimen is complete. Very choice and aesthetic example from this famous 2007 find, for the price and size range.
