Wonderful thumbnail specimen for this classic material, a partly gemmy glassy color zoned crystal of fluorapatite set beautifully on a siderite crystal matrix with muscovite. What at first appears to be chipping on one of the edges is completely natural. This shows completely all around with no points of attachment and is in great condition. This is beautifully fluorescent, the inner zone bright yellow, the outer zone violet.
