Item Description
Very gemmy, lustrous, variably green with hints of yellow, fluorapatite crystals cover the mounded matrix on this rich, showy and highly representative example from this noted locale. The dominating, well-placed crystal is 1.7 cm across and the piece displays well from two sides. These crystals have only very faint fluorescence.
