Description: GREAT FL. FLUORAPATITE CRYSTALS FROM PORTUGAL! This is from deep in my personal collection, and I am allowing the sale of very prized pieces. Enjoy! Sharp Fluorapatite XLS. on matrix! A TRUE DISPLAY QUALITY SPECIMEN, I'D KEEP BUT I HAVE TO LIQUIDATE SOME OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION. CHECK THIS AND MANY OTHER SPECIMENS OF BRIGHT FLUORESCENT SHORT-WAVE SPECIMENS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RICH PIECE AND WHILE THE PHOTOGRAPHY IS SUB-PAR, THE SPECIMEN IS TOP CLASS! BRIGHT FLUORESCENT SPECIMEN!!! This specimen is an excellent example of a Fluorapatite XLS. (fl. yellow/orange and violet SW) with non-fluorescent Muscovite from the Panasqueira Mines, Covilha, Castelo Branco District, Portugal. GREAT example of this species from this locale, with several crystals fluorescing brightly! Displays wonderfully. The size of the specimen is 2" (5 cm) by 1" (2.5 cm) by 1" (2.5 cm), a miniature sized specimen. Great to add to a competitive display. Check this and my many other offerings now and in the days to come. The fluorescent picture(s) are under SW UV light, I am using a Superbright SW lamp (13W). I apologize for any quality issues with my photographs, I am not a photographer, but a field collector at heart. The specimens I sell are much better in person, check out my feedbacks! Do not miss out in adding one of these high quality examples of fluorescence/mineralogy. Once these are gone I have no more! I am an active member of the Fluorescent Mineral Society, and have been a member for over 40+ years. Although I don't feel that aged. I know what fellow fluorescent hobbiests are looking for, and will only offer quality here. I do guarantee my offerings, and as you see in my feedbacks, many buyers tell me how the specimens are better in person. PLEASE DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT PURCHASING THE ITEM. The shipping on this specimen is $18.00 for domestic and $80 for international shipping. HAPPY HUNTING AND THANKS FOR VIEWING MY OFFERINGS! KEEP CHECKING BACK AS I HAVE ROUTINE OFFERINGS OF VERY HIGH QUALITY!!
