Apatite (CaF) (Ref: 18.1-388)
Sapo Mine, Goiabeira, Minas Gerais, Brazil
57mm x 42mm x 44mm
minID: X04-UM0
A fine cluster of Apatite (Fluorapatite) crystals with a silky luster and a hint of zoning. From the remarkable Sapo Mine which has been the source of many different forms and types of Apatite, but is now closed. An older specimen, this habit and color were quite uncommon. Very esthetic, there is a natural crack (not a repair) and contact on the backside that is out of sight from the display side. There is no damage, a very clean specimen. A few Muscovite books are the only matrix, the cluster of crystals are well isolated and the composition is elegant. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
