Item Description

A strangely colored Apatite crystal with a combination of a soft beige-yellow with a salmon pink core. The crystal is actually a fairly well-formed doubly-terminated hexagonal prism, and looks like it could actually be a complete floater as I can't find a true point of attachment, although it is glued to the base, so it could be contacted there. Small black crystals of what I'm assuming are Schorl can be seen as well. A really weird Apatite for this region, but I have certainly seen several others that don't look like any other's I've seen from Erongo.
