A rehealed Quartz crystal shard serves as the matrix for a dramatically placed 1.3cm Apatite crystal. The Apatite is color zoned with a central blue stripe. Green is the most common color for Panasquiera Apatites and those with blue or purple color are highly prized. Valued at $175 in my regular website galleries.
