FLUORAPATITE, FLUORITE, PYRITE

In this specimen we can observe a matrix completely covered by globular aggregates of muscovite with greenish tones sprinkled with small, very bright pyrite crystals. Numerous fluorite crystals with a cubic habit stand out, with polysynthetic growths on the faces, translucent and allowing us to see a lighter color in the inner core while the edges show a darker violet tone. It is accompanied by a very good-sized fluorapatite crystal with hexagonal shape and a marked asymmetric color zoning. The brilliance is excellent and its disposition on the matrix makes this piece a very fine specimen. The main crystial : 2,6 x 1,6 x 1,4 cm.
