Translucent and bright blue Fluorapatite crystals on a matrix with Siderite crystals. The luster and color of the Apatites are awesome and compose a very aesthetic Panasqueira specimen coming from a recent find. This kind of Fluorapatites are currently very scarce and difficult to find. The condition is very good as seen. Watch the video taking in natural light conditions.
