Unknown Owner
Glassy partly gemmy bluish green tabular crystals of fluorapatite measuring to 0.5 cm in size scattered across matrix with crystallized quartz, mica, albite, and an unknown mineral possibly forming epimorphs after tourmaline. The fluorapatite crystals are brightly fluorescent. The fluorapatite crystals exhibit attractive color zoning. Very choice locality example for the species.
