specimen number:
8111102
location:
Panasqueira Mine, Covilha, Castelo Branco, Portugal
description: A wonderful attractive example from this classic locality with gemmy purple lustrous crystals of fluorapatite to 1.9 cm in size across the top of this arsenopyrite crystal matrix was siderite and minor ferberite. Very tiny sparse micro-chipping is present, I still think in very good condition. The color is outstanding and the piece is very attractive.
