FLUORAPATITE, SIDERITE

Panasqueira never ceases to amaze us. In this specimen we can enjoy a large group of fluorapatite crystals, very brilliant and with transparence, with a very attractive green tone and defined and rounded faces and edges. This specimen stands out for the hollows (hoppers) we can observe in the pinacoidal faces of the more developed crystals. A very unusual growth that gives it a remarkable interest. It is accompanied by siderite. A piece for collectors of Panasqueira and fluorapatite species. The main crystal is: 4,1 x 2,9 x 2,3 cm.. Fluorescence UVC & UVA.
