Item Description

Gemmy, yellow-green fluorapatite crystals from Cerro de Mercado are a classic Mexico species and this is a very fine matrix example. The sharply terminated, glassy, crystal is nicely set on a bit of hematite. Pristine and the texbook hexagonal crystal has few internal veils, with cause the striking rainbow effects. This noted locale is featured in the Mexico-VI issue of the Mineralogical Record. From the noted Mexico collection of Jason New. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
