Fluorapatite with Muscovite, Quartz (repaired)
specimen number:
9158717
location:
Huya, Mt Xuebaoding, Sichuan, China
description: Outstanding pink translucent lustrous tabular crystals of fluorapatite to 3.3 cm in size over the top of a 9.5 x 6.0 x 6.0 cm Muscovite crystal matrix. This is completely crystallized all around and in outstanding condition. It is said to have been repaired, I'm assuming the larger crystal grouping on top, but it is very difficult to tell and the repair job is excellent. Extremely rich and fluorapatite for this locality, the quality is outstanding for the species from here.
Size: 9.5 x 6.0 x 6.0 cm (cabinet)
