A beautiful fluorapatite specimen from finds made last yea at the Kami Mine in Bolivia. This level of completeness is almost impossible to find-- most pieces were damaged by the extensive dynamite use. This example has a single main crystal on a sliver of matrix, with a crack running though it on the left side, as positioned in the top-most image, to the right of this description. The color of this apatite is somewhat pale-- and it appears palest in daylight (or daylight equivalent lighting) and has the greatest saturation under incandescent lighting (though it is still quite pale, even then). If you would like videos taken under a specific type of lighting, feel free to send an e-mail.
