Single transparent blue Apatite crystal from the Merelani Tanzanite mines. Complete all around with a nice steep pyramidal termination. Apatite is not common from Merelani but when found can form beautiful prismatic crystals such as this, often with light blue color and less commonly with a rich blue color such as this one.
