Superb specimen of Bertrandite crystals laced with Fluorapatites. The Bertandites are fabulous hexagonal tabular to barrel-shaped crystals that are gemmy and clear with perfect luster. The Fluorapatites are purple and gemmy tabular crystals that average about 3 cm in size, and course throughout the specimen in very attractive veins that add much to the overall aesthetics of the specimen.
