Fluorapatite Calcite Golden Chalcopyrite Pyrite Quartz Peru 300g
This is a very beautiful example of hexagonal Fluorapatite crystals nestled amongst Calcite and needle Quartz, perched on lustrous, brassy, golden Chalcopyrite growing on bright Pyrite. The rarer occurrence of the pale greenish-yellow Apatite crystals ( fluorescent, see notes below ) for this locality is valid reason to consider this specimen as a wonderful, less common combination of minerals. Truly a attractive specimen! 300 grams. Free shipping. Click to buy.
3.2" x 2.86" x 1.59" or 81.4mm x 72.6mm x 40.5mm
*****The Apatite crystals fluoresce a beautiful pink while the Calcite crystals exhibit a sensational orangish-hot pink hue when exposed to UV light. The tiny needle quartz present wonderfully as little flower-like clusters across the surface of the specimen.
