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. Ideal for mineral collectors, crystal enthusiasts, or lapidary hobbyists looking for quality rough material with strong color.

About apatite
Apatite is a calcium phosphate. At 5 on the Mohs scale it is soft for a gemstone and sensitive to acids, heat and knocks, so it is best for pendants, earrings or a collection.
Cleaning
Rinse it briefly in lukewarm water and let it dry. Do not scrub it: at a hardness of 5 to 6 the crystal faces scratch easily. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners. Keep it away from acids, including lemon juice and vinegar, and household cleaners.
Wear and storage
Store it padded and apart from other specimens, and keep metal tools and harder stones away from it: its faces scratch easily.
