Single Apatite crystal with an incredible well saturated Teal coloration. This is from a small find of similar crystals from approximately 10 years ago and I've not seen them since. The crystal is complete all around and translucent with a 'wet' luster. The crystal is undamaged with some attached matrix, including on the termination. Uncommon Tanzanian gem crystal valued at $150-$200.
