Item Description
From the famous finds of about 2003-2004, this is an example of a very complex apatite group species. I have seen them labelled as fluor-hydroxyapatite and other apatite varietals with surnames. I am not sure what the scientists ended up using for its exact classification now. But, to me, its just a very neat, blue apatite with wildly unusual crystal habit. Hard to find, today, on the market
