This Mica flower has one cluster of several inter-grown Apatite crystals with perfect termination and super luster at one edge and than right after a Mica section you will see a larger Apatite crystal with excellent termination and poor to excellent luster. It is sort of like a Mica Sandwich and can be seen in the first picture. Overall this is an excellent piece with little or no damage. This specimen has not been cleaned and cleaning should enhance it further. Please note that this Apatite crystal has very transparent sections.
