A superb and classic apatite specimen from Panasqueira, Portugal and the Smithsonian and Dr. Gary Hansen Collections. This two-sided beauty is composed of very glassy and well-striated, green apatite crystals beautifully accented with sparkly, golden chalcopyrite on the edges. A surprise on the back features more chalcopyrite on tiny siderite crystals. This is a superb, near floater specimen.
