These crystals have nice sharp edges; however, the larger crystal does have some damage on the top. This specimen was removed from the its matrix and as such the base is not terminated. This specimen has not been cleaned and cleaning should enhance it further. Please note that this Apatite crystal has very transparent sections (Facet Grade).
