Don, Am, Enrique, Tobi, and Michael:
I express my sincere gratitude for the time you have dedicated to writing these very kind posts.
But sincerely, I don't think this subject is important enough to keep going forever.
Thank you!
Description: Fluorapatite crystals of hexagonal shape are disposed on a matrix of hyaline quartz crystals and accompanied by siderite. The fluorapatite crystals are translucent to transparent with a very uniform, nice pink color and very well-defined hexagonal faces, truncated by the pinacoids and faces of the dipyramid. The color of these crystals varies a little depending on the type of light; it is a bit pale in daylight and more saturated under incandescent lighting. It is accompanied by well-defined rhomboedral siderite crystals with a very aesthetic green-brown color, arranged very aerially on the specimen. A specimen from a recent find in the Kami mine; it is in excellent condition.
Dimensions: 74 mm x 52 mm.
Mass: 87 g.
Locality: Kami Mine, Ayopaya Province, Cochabamba Department, Bolivia.
