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.
