Fluorapatite with Magnetite
specimen number:
3211040
location:
Cerro de Mercado Mine, Durango, Mexico
description: Very large translucent deep yellow green fluorapatite crystal on matrix with minor magnetite. The crystal measures almost 5 cm across. In very good condition all around. At first I thought perhaps this one was repaired back onto the matrix, but looking around some of the sections were the crystal meets the matrix I don't see any evidence of glue or gapping at all.
Size: 11.0 x 8.0 x 7.0 cm (cabinet)
