Item Description
A group of sharp, lustrous, gemmy hexagonal Apatite crystals with a soft yellow hue which are sitting on white Albite with associated dark greenish-black, almost metallic Clinochlore. The piece is well crystallized all the way around, save the bottom where it detached from the pocket. I have not seen much in the way of these Apatite specimens with this unique color and appearance from Pakistan in several years.
