Apatite, calcite, pyrite

Well formed, translucent and lustrous crystals of apatite to 27 mm, exhibiting distinct zoning. The crystals are stacked next to each other to form an aesthetic display specimen.  The colour ranges from dark green in the center to colourless on the edge and the well formed tabular crystals have bevelled edges. A lovely specimen of 'heavy gauge' apatite crystals associated with white calcite and gold pyrite crystals. All crystals are incomplete.
