Item Description
An adorable intergrown cluster of lustrous, gemmy/translucent, tabular apatite crystals from the famous Panasqueira mines. The crystals have classic olive-green color and the dominating crystal is 1.9 cm. The attached pearlescent brown muscovite flakes are a nice accent. Preferential mustard-yellow fluorescence along the gemmier crystal edges. An excellent miniature example of this signature Panasqueira species.
