Apatite-(Caoh)
A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME and AESTHETIC specimen of extremely sharp, multi-faced, off-white hydroxylapatite crystals from Snarum on matrix. The club-shaped crystal, at 4.7 cm, is HUGE! Embedded in the bottom of the matrix is a LARGE, 8.2 cm, dark green, elongated hornblende crystal. NOTE that this is NOT just apatite. This is a very rare varietal and is from the most significant old classic locality for it! The great private collection of A. F. Holden, comparable in quality and extent to the collections of Roebling and Bement, was acquired by gift to Harvard in 1913. Phil Scalisi obtained this very fine old-timer in an exchange in 1971. Ex George Elling Collection.
