This deposit is best known for its incredible etched aquas. However, this is a significant, doubly-terminated Fluorapatite crystal. It is nearly a floater with just a small contact on back, and is glassy and gemmy with multiple color zonations, from light pinkish purple, to light yellowish green, to champagne. Ex. Kay Robertson collection. Unusual!
