Specimens from this unusual locality are not easy to come by. Here's a pair of blue-green intergrown apatite crystals, showing well developed prisms that are long for the locality (often are quite tabular or squat). Both feature sharp flat terminations and are seated on a bed of albite crystals accompanied by muscovite and some black tourmaline. On the reverse of the matrix is a scattering of dozens of tiny micro apatite's (1-2mm). Nice combination and would look great in any cabinet!
