Doubly terminated, lustrous Apatite crystals set in a pink Calcite matrix. The Apatites are a mix of green to red-brown colors and have the typical slightly rounded edges noted from the Canadian Skarn deposits in this region. The matrix is sawn on the backside which is not visible on display. The smaller crystals have chipping but the largest (6.5 CM) is pristine. These Apatites are slightly transparent and fully translucent.
