Apatite, Lake Baikal, Sludyanka, Russia

Apatite can come in a fascinating array of shapes and colours. This Russian specimen has terrific form - terminated on both ends but naturally etched - along with eye-appealing colour and waxy luster. It is difficult to resist picking this specimen up! One of my favourites from a recently acquired collection. From Lake Baikal, Sludyanka, Russia. Dimensions: 3 cm x 5 cm
