Item Description
An impressive, 4.5 cm, lustrous, gray-green, fluorapatite crystal with textbook hexagonal form is dramatically perched atop a showy cluster of frosted, sparkly, feldspar crystals on this fine combination piece from an unknown pegmatite near Governador Valadares. A rare and excellent example of this varietal from the Bob Trimingham Collection. Modest yellow fluorescence.
