MZ98AG3: A novelty at Munich 2017. Elongated Fluorapatite crystal, translucent, with a very bright upper pinacoid and the lower part recrystallized and with a seam of growth at the middle of the prism. The crystal has an unusual genesis, being in a micro-crystalline Prehnite nodule. Another aspect to note, it closely remains a Tourmaline because it is polychromic, mainly pink and with a green termination. The specimen has been reviewed, photographed and published as a Munich 2017 new discovery in the magazine ‘Mineralogical Record’ on page 335 in the volume 49, number 2
