Item Description
A striking, juicy, beautiful powder-blue fluorapatite from Russia. Moderately translucent, the sharply terminated, textbook hexagonal crystal is essentially pristine, with only the most trivial out-of-sight bruise to the termination. 145 grams. A choice specimen. Valued at $300-400 at least. the color here is a very unusual pastel blue for any apatite.
