Item Description

Sharp, pink, hexagonal, complete, tabular crystals of fluorapatite measuring up to 1.3 cm on blocky white Albite matrix. The piece displays nicely as you can see from the photos and there are only a few contacted crystals. A classic pink Apatite from Pakistan. It's not easy to find a "ridge" of Apatites on matrix like this from Pakistan these days, as most specimens only feature one or two crystals.
