Big Hematite crystals with glassy pink Apatite. This is just into the country and is likely from a new find as I have not seen these before (and this is the only one I saw available). The main Hematite is 3.5cm wide and the largest Apatite cluster is 3cm long. Probably better in person as the silvery Hematite shows as black in the photos. The Apatites are glassy and transparent. There is damage along the right edge of the main Hematite and along the top of one of the smaller Hematites. There are also some small green Clorite included crystals, likely Adularia, size 5 x 4 x 4 cm.
