A 2.4 terminated Apatite crystal attached to two terminated green Diopside crystals. This is one of the most aesthetic specimens that I have seen of this material. The Apatite is translucent and gets transparent near the termination. There is also a small amount of transparent, colorless Hyalite Opal attached to the green crystals.
