Item Description

A very attractive 1.1 cm, bright, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, prismatic yellow-green Apatite crystal sits smartly on beige Orthoclase matrix. This piece is a from a find about 9 years ago, and is good quality for the find. It seems as though these specimens have really disappeared from the market, and it's really a shame because they are some of the finest green color Apatite specimens in recent memory. Don't miss out on this lovely little Apatite specimen from this lesser-known locality.
