Description from the seller

A very dramatic specimen of grayish-blue fluorapatite and topaz aesthetically set on a quartz, muscovite, and siderite matrix. The fluorapatite appearing as flat, tabular, hexagonal crystals with a gemmy interior that features very few flaws, made visible thanks to their remarkable surface glassy luster and large open faces. The topaz, or what I believe to be topaz just by the termination habit and hardness, are the water clear needles strewn about the piece's surface that look like tiny elongated ice crystals. There are some minor chips and cracks all visible within the photos.
