Select grouping of flattened dipyramidal crystals on a large and very sharp crystal of Orthoclase. The Hydoxlapatites, which range up to 2.5 cm, have excellent luster and very good form. One of the things that make them unusual is that they grade from a nearly clear gemmy core to the classic deep green in the outer half. Very attractive.
