Item Description

Here we have a nice small cabinet specimen of soft blue-green Apatites from the famous Sapo mine from a few years ago. These crystals have a unique appearance with compressed prismatic form and "ocean green" color, along with being nearly opaque. The Apatites measure up to 8 mm across are sitting atop silvery-brozne Muscovite. It appears that Sapo may never produce these attractive specimens of these unusual Apatites again.
