Fluorapatite with Lazulite (rare combination for the locality)

Item Description

Rapid Creek is famous for its colorful and fine quality phosphate specimens, most notably Lazulite and Augelite, but this piece features rarely seen pink Fluorapatite crystals, which contrasts beautifully against the inky blue to greenish-blue Lazulites and dark golden colored Siderite crystals. The largest Apatite measures about 6 mm, and they along with the Lazulites are best seen up close, and we've photographed the crystals with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate their quality. These pieces are incredibly hard to find on the market, and if you collect phosphates, a colorful association piece like this would make a stellar addition to any collection. Don't miss out, this piece was collected a few decades ago in the 1980s, and we don't have another like it to offer in the auctions.
