Small olive-green appearing (more emerald green in bulk) complex aggregate of transparent to translucent bjarebyite crystals with colorless transparent apatite crystals, found in a siderite-quartz vug. Ex. Louis Perloff (see handwritten attached label, child image), later Julius Weber. Specimen was labeled "bjarebyite with palermoite;" I didn't find any obvious palermoite, could be present as very sparse prismatic crystals. S419-528 N4365N

Typical hexagonal prismatic colorless apatite crystals associated with olive-green appearing bjarebyite crystals, found in a siderite-quartz vug. Likely these are fluorapatite, needs analysis to be certain. Ex. Louis Perloff (see handwritten attached label, child image), later Julius Weber. Specimen was labeled "bjarebyite with palermoite;" I didn't find any obvious palermoite, could be present as very sparse white prismatic crystals seen in this image. S419-528 N4365N
