A classic Apatite specimen from Cerro de Mercado featuring sharp, lustrous,
gemmy, 1.5 cm crystal of Apatite on Magnetite with Quartz. Loose crystals from this locality are common enough, but matrix pieces
with a quality crystal such as this are hard to find. The Magnetite in turn is also well crystallzied showing octahedral crystals to
1cm in size. Valued at $400.
