Apatite-(Caoh), Orthoclase
Unknown Owner
These remarkable and unusual apatite-(CaOH) specimens were really the only major new find at the 2005 Munich Show, of quantity and visual appeal. Italian dealer Riccardo Prato had gone to Brazil himself when the pocket came to light and got the most and best. This fine cabinet piece consists of fat, dipyramidal crystals to 3.0 cm generously scattered on contrasting orthoclase matrix. No more of this style have been found since.
