Light blue botyroidal fluorapatite crystals on a matrix of Albite with Quartz and Mica. The 1969 original label lists this as Herderite but identified by Van King as fluorapatite. This has been repaired. Size: 8.3 x 7.2 x6.5 cm. Photo by Tom Klinepeter. ON 26 Feb 2014 I donated this specimen to the new Maine mineral museum.
