These remarkable and unusual hydroxylapatite specimens were really the only major new find at the 2005 Munich Show, of quantity and visual appeal. Italian dealer Riccardo Prato had gone to Brazil himself when the pocket came to light and got the most and best. This showy piece consists of three, fat, juicy crystals to 2.2 cm, perched on lovely contrasting matrix. very 3-dimensional crystals, here, which are preferentially frosted on one side.
