Four gemmy yellow Apatite crystals rising vertically up through drusy Chalcedony. This specimen is unusual for the locality, not just for being a matrix specimen. Apatite crystals from this locality are usually found lying flat and embedded in the matrix. The crystals on this piece rise straight up indicating open pocket growth. The four crystals rising out of the Chalcendony are terminated and undamaged, there are some incomplete crystals on the periphery. Valued at $250.
