Description/Interesting Notes: A classic, old time example of apatite with byssolite and epidote from Austria!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of gemmy, colorless apatite crystals in association with green byssolite needles and olive green epidote crystals!!! The apatite crystals are complete and undamaged all around!!! The apatite crystals exhibit some highly complex and unusually rounded features due to their close association with byssolite needles and also host some greenish translucent needles of byssolite included within them!!! The apatite crystals are brilliantly lustrous and their complex forms make them quite striking in person!!! The group of olive green epidote crystals also appears to have some byssolite in association upon close inspection!!! Classic old time material!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition and displays magnificently in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!!
