DT bi-colored Fluorapatite (Trimingham Coll.)

Item Description

Beautiful and striking gemmy sections of color-zoned olive-green with translucent, off-white areas highlight this excellent, textbook, hexagonal, doubly terminated fluorapatite crystal from this renowned locale. The crystal is very glassy and highly lustrous. Trivial edge wear is noted on the primary termination and that's low-temperature glue in the gently bruised contact area. Classic material from the Bob Trimingham Collection. A fine article in the recent Mineralogical Record examines this famous district.
