Fluorapatite, Siderite, Quartz
Fluorapatite crystals of hexagonal shape disposed on a matrix of hyaline Quartz crystals and accompanied by Siderite crystals. The Fluorapatites are translucent to transparent with a very uniform nice pink colour and very well-defined hexagonal faces, truncated by the pinacoids and faces of the dipyramid. The color of these Apatites varies a little depending on the type of lights, it is a bit pale in daylight and more saturated under incandescent lighting. It is accompanied by well defined Siderite crystals with a very aesthetic green brown colour, arranged very aerially on the specimen. High quality specimen from a recent find in the Kami mine, in excellent condition.
