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.
