JFD76AO0: This is a serious piece, the bluish Fluorapatite has a fascinating crystallography, the crystals are very aerial and are associated with a combo of Ferberite, Siderite and Calcite-Dolomite. I don't recall seeing many more Panasqueira fluorapatites with this crystal habit (if any at all)
Minas da Panasqueira, Aldeia de São Francisco de Assis, Covilhã, Castelo Branco, Cova da Beira, Centro Region Portugal (±1994)
Specimen size: 6.4 × 5.4 × 4.8 cm = 2.52” × 2.13” × 1.89”
Main crystal size: 1.7 × 1.3 cm = 0.67” × 0.51”
