Item number: MIN0403
Price: EUR 240.00
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.
