Apatite, Calcite
Tahawus Mine access railroad cut, Minerva, Minerva Township, Essex County, New York, USA
Small blue Apatite crystal in a Calcite matrix. I only mention the blue because the green is very common and the blue variety of the Apatite is most sought after. As you can see by the photo, the Apatites from this locality are poorly crystalized.
Specimen Size: 3.7cm x 3.5cm x 3cm
