A 1.8 cm, beautiful, gemmy, tabular, hexagonal, light pink, fluorapatite crystal is elegantly perched on combination matrix that includes small apatites, siderite rhombs, scattered tiny pyrrhotites and either/or albite, quartz or dolomite. Very nifty combination material. Ghostly white fluorescence.
