Fluorapatite and Scheelitte on Muscovite
Mt. Xuebaoding, Pingwu Co., Mianyang Pref.
Sichuan Province, China
6.3 x 5.2 CM (miniature)
price: $575


A light purple Fluorapatite 1.6 CM sits next to sharp gemmy orange Scheelites on a Muscovite matrix. Most Apatite from Xuebaoding is more pink and this shade is very rare. Fantastic color contrasts, glass-like luster and good esthetics make this a very fine piece. Very clean of damage by eye, there are some very minor contacts and chipping found at 10x magnification. A top notch example!
