This crystal features an intricately bevelled front face, combined with exquisite crystallography on the well-developed edges. This is a really glassy, gemmy, crystal that has the glassiest luster I have seen on apatite from the locality and color so rich that nearly glows with color (especially when backlit slightly). It is transparent throughout, except the very base, despite its thickness! There is some very minor edge wear on several back edges but nothign that visually detracts. For the size, it is actually in extremely good condition.
