WRA96CD2: Well-developed Quartz crystal, translucent and shiny, coated with shiny and bluish Fluorapatite crystals; with Siderite and a coating of small Pyrite crystals on the back. Noteworthy, in addition to its beauty, are the Fluorapatite inclusions inside the Quartz crystal, which, due to their partial fusion at the Quartz formation temperature, have a very unusual appearance.
Like all specimens in Raúl Sanabria's collection, it was chosen with great care, always aiming to have something special that sets it apart.
