Perched on a sliver of matrix, is a single, lustrous, transparent, light, mint green, fluorapophyllite crystal, terminated by the basal pinacoid. I love this new find, with unusual dramatic and isolated apophs having such a stark termination, and bought much of it. There are also attached a few pearlescent, stilbite crystals, to 3.0 cm in length. TOP QUALITY miniature, and one of the few smaller ones from this pocket in this size range.
