Intergrown, glassy, translucent, color-zoned, olive-green apatite crystals nicely accented with quartz form a fine specimen from the Panasqueira Mines of Portugal. The tabular crystals have textbook, hexagonal form. No damage to the major crystals. Highly representative material from this classic locale from its heyday in the 1960s-1980s. These large crystals are exceptionally well presented, and lustrous. Ex. Wes Parker Collection.
