description:
Large translucent green crystals of lustrous fluorapatite to 4.5 cm in size over both sides of this muscovite crystal matrix. On the backside of the piece are large crystals of siderite to 7.0 cm. Lustrous black crystals of ferberite are scattered throughout as well as chalcopyrite, pyrite, and muscovite. Very tiny and sparse micro-chipping present, this mainly on the backside of the piece, I think in great condition. Sits perfectly by itself or display.
