Apatite on Muscovite and Feldspar

Item Description

A 3.2 cm, gemmy and lustrous, two-toned pink apatite crystal is aesthetically set between contrasting matrix of sparkly, greenish, muscovite blades and cream-colored feldspar. The apatite has textbook hexagonal form and a couple of very glassy smoky quartz crystals are a nice accent. Apatites of this quality are very rare from this noted locale, which is noted for creedite, fluorite and bertrandite produced in small quantities in the early 1990s.. RARE!
