A grouping of lustrous undamaged dark green apatite crystals sit perched on a bed of sparkling white feldspar. All the fluorapatite crystals are undamaged and have great luster. If you look closely you can see they are color zones with a light green rim around a dark green core. The light green zone has a pumpkin orange fluorescence under long wave UV light. This was a one time find from this mine in 2007.
