Well this is a so called "Kling" Apatite referring to the sound you can hear if you hit two crystals against each other...these are very clean gemmy apatite crystals found in small quantities, look on other website, if you can find ,the prices are very high. These crystals from Ohn Bin mine showing mostly a very melted ,etched looking surface due to contact to acidly phases after the epitaxy. Here you get an inexpensive specimen with nice termination top transparency and a pleochroism which is rarely found on apatite crystals !!!
