Item Description
An impressive, sharp, highly lustrous, textbook hexagonal fluorapatite crystal from Brazil. The crystal appears dark blue in normal light, BUT bright light and backlighting reveal zones and veinlets of glorious "Paraiba blue" translucent gemminess. These were originally marketed as being from Paraiba State, Brazil, but this uncommon exciting material has been determined to be from the Alto da Cabeca Mine, Parelhas, Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil. Complete all-around and pristine. Ex Dr. Vasco Trancoso Collection. A very fine and uncommon example from the locale. 45 grams. This is a rare style!
