Top gem quality of yellow-green, lustrous pure crystals of fluorapatite from Mexico iron deposit in Durango.  The well contrasting translucent Fluorapatite in the quartz-chalcedony-hematite-pyroxene matrix is accompanied with few crystals of  Martite (Hematite pseudomorphose after Magnetite). The bluish spherulitic Chalcedony fluorescents intensively yellow-green to blue in short UV. Such Chalcedony formation is relatively rare for Cerro de Mercado specimens.    Fluorapatite crystals are a secondary mineral in this mexican iron deposit.
