Unusual, yellow apatite in the form of a radial aggregate, dusted with minute specks of chalcopyrite. The surface of the hemispherical cluster has a multifaceted and sparkly luster to it. There is microcrystalline pale-purple fluorite, which is very rare for the location, in association on the backside. The piece can be displayed vertically or horizontally.
