Gemmy Fluorapatite xls (fluorescent) ex Sanabria Coll

Item Description

Gemmy intergrown apatite crystals form a cute and classic miniature from famed Panasqueira. The textbook hexagonal crystals, to 1.7 cm, are very glassy and lustrous and have typical gray-green color. Very nearly pristine, with only gentle bruising to an edge of the large crystal. Interestingly, the slightly gemmier termination areas fluoresce golden-yellow and the bodies fluoresce a light purple. Ex Raul Sanabria Collection.
