Description

This is a good specimen of elongated pale olive green to yellow coloured fluorapatite accompanied by glistening colourless calcite. The psrism faces are showing a distinctive vertical striation, are high lustrous and partly transparent to lucent. The terminations are mostly covered with glistening calcite. With magnification I can see only contacts and no imperfection on the termination. Anyway, the specimen is not perfect.
