Description

Pink fluorapatite crystals nicely grown on quartz crystals. Excellent lustre and locally gemmy. Growth patterns are very well visible too. Among the best qualities I have ever handled from this classic locality!

A rich specimen, very hard to spot if not in old collection. Very hard to get ahold of, the specific specimen comes from an old Swiss collection and from the old collection Infanger in Fluellen, which makes this material pre-1950 at least.
