Nicely emplaced on the matrix of lustrous white albite are discrete crystals of apatite, to 1.5 cm across, that have sharp tabular form. These crystals are glassy and translucent with a forest green color. Other than some slight contacting to the back of a top edge of the upright crystal on top, this specimen is complete. Very choice and aesthetic example from this famous 2007 find, for the price and size range.
