Marvelous and quite uncommon specimen of Fluorapatite crystals with Siderite from the famous Panasqueira mine. Displays tabular Fluorapatite crystals to 10mm with purple color. They are lustrous and gemmy. Hexagonal barrel shaped Siderites with cream-yellow color grow on the Fluorapatite crystals and underline them nicely. Siderites have some white phantoms. For references see the 2014 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 45, # 1. In very good condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.
Beautiful Fluorapatite!
