Fluorite from Akchatau Mine, Akshatau, Karaganda Region, Kazakhstan

Nice octahedral fluorite crystals with blue apatite and small clear bertrandite crystals on a quartz matrix. This is a classic Soviet piece from a small find made in the late 1980s in Akchatau. Very happy that I have one of those.
