These apatites from Durango, Mexico are quite iconic, being super recognizable both by the crystals and the host matrix. This is a fun small cabinet sized specimen with 2 nice main crystals positioned in a pretty aesthetic way.
The deposit is an iron mine in altered volcanics. These crystals are often prepped to expose them of the surrounding calcite by etching.

Fluorapatite Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
