Item Description
A classic, 4.1 cm hexagonal crystal of beautiful bluish Fluorapatite sitting on the typical golden-pink Calcite matrix. The Apatite has a "waxy" exterior, and looks beautiful on the contrasting matrix. These are well known specimens, and not often seen on the market these days. Good quality and gemmy, a worthwhile pickup for anybody who collects Apatites, phosphate or Russian minerals.
