Fluorapatite (Colorado!)

Item Description

Fluorapatite has been known to have come from this area in Colorado, but good ones seem to seldom make it out of the state. A dealer showed up at the 2008 Denver Show with a small batch of these yellow-green apatites from a new find in Colorado. New finds of gem crystals in Colorado are rare. The crystal is glassy, mostly translucent, but has a gemmy termination and textbook, hexagonal form. Complete-all-around. Very highly representative of this uncommon locale and small find. 13 grams.
