FLUORAPATITE, SIDERITE, ARSENOPYRITE, MUSCOVITE

Group of fluorapatite crystals of very good size, interpenetrated and disposed on a matrix of arsenopyrite with siderite and muscovite. We can observe the hexagonal prisms of different orders truncated by the pinacoid and the dipyramid. Very brilliant and transparent to translucent, which allows us to see the color zoning. A truly exceptional specimen from this always amazing Portuguese mine.
