DESCRIPTION:
Large Pink Apatite crystal combination with Mica and Garnet.  The Apatite crystal has excellent termination at both ends; however, there is damage to one side and  it is visible in the picture above showing the Garnet crystals. Their are several small Garnet crystals protruding from the side and a few lovely Mica flowers as well as what appears to be some lovely tiny Black Tourmaline Needles on the top. Overall the luster on the Apatite crystal is excellent and most edges are sharply terminated. This specimen has not been cleaned and cleaning should enhance it further. Please note that this Apatite crystal has very transparent sections.
