Item Description

This is a rarely seen example of the attractive Fluorapatites from Puiva that came to the market in the mid to late 1990s. This piece is a very gemmy (nearly water clear) colorless hexagonal crystal group of Apatite with a minor "ring" of "Chlorite" along the thin prism faces on the exterior. It has incredibly GLASSY faces on the pinacoids. Very minor damage, and BETTER in person.
