Item Description
A 1.2 cm, gemmy, hexagonal, light green, fluorapatite crystal dominates this showy and classic combination from Panasqueira. The smaller crystals are a nice accent and the matrix plate is muscovite. Pyrite microcrystals partially coat both the fluorapatites and muscovites. The back of this fine two-sided plate is covered with highly lustrous, translucent, light-brown muscovite "books". Yellow fluorescence. Excellent Panasqueira combination material.
