Item Description

This piece came from a discovery at the Golconda Mine from the early to mid 2000s and features a sharp, lustrous, gemmy, intense blue colored, tabular, hexagonal crystal of Fluorapatite measuring 1.1 cm across sitting atop a group of silvery-beige Muscovite with light pink colored Feldspar. Very showy and good quality, and certainly worth adding to a thumbnail suite, a worldwide collection of Apatites or a Brazilian mineral collection. From the collection of Shields Flynn.
