Item Description
A large, glassy and translucent, green fluorapatite crystal measuring 4 cm across, is partially encapsulated by lustrous and translucent, white crystals of albite, to 1 cm in length. Very elegant combination, overall! A small amount of muscovite is also present. Comes with a custom, carved and name-engraved base (valued at $125). This is from a famous series of finds about 5 years ago, and was valued $500-600
