Green apatite from Pakistan 11.3g

This natural green apatite crystal from Pakistan is a substantial rough specimen with a deep blue-green to forest-green color that reveals itself fully on the cleaved faces. Photographed from two angles, you can see the exterior with some attached matrix material at the top and the interior cleavage plane where the true transparency of the crystal becomes visible, showing a teal-blue-green hue. The second angle shows the crystal sitting upright, making its blocky, natural form and good size easy to appreciate. At 11.3g this is a solid piece with excellent display presence.

Completely untreated and from Pakistan, this apatite specimen is a natural mineral in its raw state, not faceted or polished. Pakistan produces some particularly richly colored green apatite, and specimens of this size with clean interior transparency are a good find. Ideal for mineral collectors, crystal enthusiasts, or lapidary hobbyists looking for quality rough material with strong color. Can be displayed as a specimen or used as cutting rough.
