At 6.5 cm, this crystal on the right is the largest single crystal that I am aware of from the find. The crystal on the left side is 4 cm tip to tip (and is not damaged... It just has an odd ingrown face at that "hole" which is not distracting in person at all. The apatites sit flat on a flat quartz shard, which is a floater, complete all around! Because of the thin nature of the piece, it is translucent to light and shows extremely well when backlit.
