Fluorapatite, Albite, Chlorite (Ref: 22TVR36)
Pizzo Centrale, Airolo, Central St Gotthard Massif, Leventina, Ticino (Tessin) Switzerland
58mm x 42mm x 35mm
Isolated crystals of Fluorapatite were deposited on a matrix formed by a crystalline mass of Albite completely covered by a layer of Chlorite microcrystals with a mossy habit. The Fluorapatite displays a perfectly sharp hexagonal outline, tabular with highly developed and rough bevels but with very smooth faces, translucent and very lustrous. A very elegant specimen that comes from the old Robert-Auguste Touchon collection.
