Lilac Fluorapatite with Pyrite

Unknown Owner
Purple fluorapatites ('os lilas' in local slang) are a rarity in Panasqueira and when they appear they are highly valued. This piece is not large but the color, luster and transparency are excellent. With small crystals of Pyrite in the backside. In very good condition.
