Large display specimen of light bluegreen sprays of Apatite pseudomorphs of Tarbutite. These were found a few years back and most were smaller and more delicate - not this one, a robust, thick specimen with size enough to stand out in a display case with it's unique coloration. The psuedomorphs form fine clusters of crystals that are sprinkled with sparkley Hemimorphites on top. Viewed from the side, you can see just how thick the mineralization is too, a full 3cm thick over matrix, with layers of unpseudomorphed Tarbutite visible. Valued at $500.
