Item Description
Fluorapatite and muscovite combinations are uncommon from any of the famous Afghanistan pegmatite localities. Intergrown, translucent, tabular, hexagonal, lilac fluorapatite crystals with frosted faces are nicely accented with a cluster of pearlescent muscovite plates. Complete all-around and pristine. This is a nifty, 360-degree, floater crystal cluster. Unusual partial yellow fluorescence.
