Description: Fluorapatite Yates Mine, Otter Lake, Pontiac RCM, Quebec, Canada 7.1 x 11.1 cm. Doubly terminated green and brown fluorapatite crystal on granular salmon-colored calcite. These are notoriously difficult to extract in one piece and keep attached to the matrix. As a result most crystals are stabilized with cyanocrylate.
