Item Description
A few translucent, lustrous, sharp, hexagonal, pink crystals of Fluorapatite up to 1.1 cm across are sitting on show-white color Albite crystals with prismatic black Schorl crystals on both sides of the piece. The piece displays very well and there is very little damage overall. A good small miniature / toenail sized Apatite from Pakistan. Good aeshetics and quality for the material. Keep in mind that Apatite might be a well known species, but good matrix specimens are certainly few and far between.
