Description

A beautiful specimen of gem and water clear fluorapatite crystal of 32mm from Liscombe Deposit, Ontario, Canada. The crystal forms an excellent focal point. It has a rich apple-green color and it is doubly terminated. The fluorapatite is a well definite crystal with very strong luster. It sits attractively on a light cream colored calcite base. In very good condition – some natural leaps and one crack. On acrylic base.

Fabulous!
