A sharp, lustrous 1.5 cm tabular crystal of ink-blue fluorapatite is nestled among bertandite-coated albite crystals. The sugary betrandite crystals are lustrous and they sparkle in the light. In excellent condition, no damage. This is a beautiful combination of minerals, with nice contrast highlighting the fluorapatite crystal.
