Lilac Fluorapatite wit 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 and luster are excellent. With small crystals of Pyrite and Siderite in the backside. In very good condition.
