Big and impressive crystals for the locality of gem Fluorapatite up to 12mm decorated by gemmy Lazulite, Siderite and Quartz from the famous phosphate deposits of Yukon. Fluorapatite crystals have pleasing purple color which is quite rare for the locality with some colorless areas. They are strongly lustrous, gem and very well crystallized with barrel shape. Lazulite is a rare magnesium aluminum phosphate and some of the finest come from this locality. Lazulite crystals are sharp, highly lustrous, very well formed, monoclinic, deep indigo blue color measuring up to 3mm. Many crystals have gemmy areas with marvelous blue nuances. Gemmy Siderite crystals with honey-brown color add a nice accent. Small transparent Quartzes are seen too. In good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.

Superb!
