S6252 - Hydroxylapatite - SOLD
Sapo Mine, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Overall Size: 11.7 x 7.5 cm
Highly unique! Several lustrous green to yellow crystals of 5.5 cm long have grown up from the matrix
forming an example unlike any from the mine, crystallized on all sides, no damage, just a really neat
aesthetic Brazilian specimen. This stacked growth is rare for the species as well, so don't expect to
see another like it. Good larger showy piece of 11.7 x 7.5 cm in size that would stand out in a
display, excellent for the mineral.

Transparent to translucent, glassy, bright, and well exposed prismatic canary-yellow crystals up to 1.3
cm in length sit perfectly upon a very pleasing pink smithsonite matrix measuring 6 x 4.5 cm in overall

undamaged.

across rank this piece with some of the best from the old well-known locality. The pale blue anhydrite
of 1.2 cm in length is unusual as far as I know. Very clean surface, no problems, great luster when
rotated in hand.
