Group of well formed hexagonal crystals of Fluorapatite with very nice yellow color, excellent transparency and very bright. In excellent condition.

Not well represented in collections, these Peruvian Fluorapatite crystals show well-developed hexagonal prisms, very high luster, excellent transparency and are truncated by the pinacoid and with a few small faces of the hexagonal dipyramid.
