This cabinet specimen features tens of apatite crystals, to 2.3 cm across, emplaced on white albite matrix. There are crystals that are tabular and those that exhibit more barrel-like, equant forms. They are mostly doubly terminated, and all are glassy and translucent, with dark forest green color that exemplifies the qualities that mark this now-famous 2007 pocket. This is without question a magnificent, large, apatite specimen! The geometry and complexity of the surface really draws the eye. It can be shown vertically or horizontally to equal effect.
