A muscovite matrix hosts a 7 mm, greenish and glassy fluorapatite crystal in addition to scattered arsenopyrite, minor calcite and minor quartz. The fluorapatite displays interesting fluorescence: A thin zone on each termination glows yellow under shortwave UV whereas the rest of the crystal is almost completely nonreactive to UV. A good representative sample for the locality. Self standing and in nice condition.
