This specimen is a larger version of the previous specimen, with unusually isolated and upright crystals that miraculously are pristine. It is equally outststanding and of a larger size. Several discrete, really lustrous crystals of apatite, to nearly 2 cm across, abound on the grayish-white lustrous albite matrix. Simply beautiful! They are mostly tabular, doubly terminated, glassy and translucent, forest green - very characteristic of this pocket from 2007
