Description

Rich miniature of yellow apatite from Jumilla, Spain. Crystals are yellow, quite lustrous, and with a good gemminess, nicely sitting on the matrix. A couple of white calcite spheroids are associated to it. These specimens do often host pseudobrookite and yanfulliite (not investigated here). 

Quite rich, from the former collection Lehmann (CH). Dated back to the late 80s.
