specimen number:
8037534

Panasqueira Mine, Covilha, Castelo Branco, Portugal
description:
Green highly translucent and glassy crystals of fluorapatite to 4.0 cm across forming a cluster with lenticular crystals of siderite to 1.8 cm in size. Minor muscovite calcite present as well. This shows nicely all around as seen in the video and I think in super condition. Excellent for this Portuguese classic.
