Amblygonite : LiAl[(F,OH)|PO4]

Montebras Mine, Montebras-en-Soumans, Boussac, Creuse, Limousin, France

An interesting crystal section (12 mm in lenght), light creme color, in the whitish compact massive Amblygonite. I don't know if is as well a rare Amblygonite crystal section, or more probably an Apatite. Visible also a bit of pale blue Turquoise like inclusions. 3x2,2x1,5 cm the specimen. In my personal Old Europa suite. Photo Simone Citon.
