Fluorapatite
specimen number:
1114943
location:
Panasqueira Mines, Covilha, Castelo Branco, Portugal
description:
A large impressive blue and purple tabular crystal grouping of fluorapatite set up on a crystallized quartz and siderite matrix with minor pyrite. What at first appears to be damage on the front of the crystal is completely natural. There a couple of naturally healed and solid fractures in the crystal as well. These are obvious in the video. Still, this is in good condition and the overall size of this crystal is quite impressive. The color and luster are great as well.
Size: 11.5 x 7.0 x 6.0 cm (cabinet)
