greenish and glassy fluorapatite crystal in addition to
scattered arsenopyrite, minor calcite and minor quartz.

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.
