Item Description
Here we have a nice thumbnail specimen of these well-known deep green Apatites from the famous find at the Sapo mine in 2004. These crystals have a unique appearance with compressed prismatic form and deep greenish-black color, but is nearly colorless on the edges. Minor white Albite can be seen on the base / reverse side of the piece. It appears that Sapo may never produce these incredible specimens of these unusual Apatites again.
