Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, color-zoned, forest-green, tabular, fluorapatite crystals to 1.4 cm are aesthetically clustered or as isolated crystals on the large matrix of sparkly, frosted, fan-like sprays of albite crystals. Other than the bit of periphery wear to the albite, this fine large piece is pristine. A very choice and aesthetic example from this famous 2007 find, for the price and size range. It has three possible fine display views.
