Description:Apatite from this mine has come out in a huge array of styles over the years, this being the most recent sort. The crystals are stacked together in complex clusters, forming cogwheel-like growths. The piece has contact around the periphery, but a dramatic display face with no damage on the front view. Excellent example from recent finds here, of this new apatite style
