NW47AL5: A novelty at the Sainte Marie 2020 Virtual show: Group of elongated and doubly terminated Fluorapatite crystals between pale yellow and violet with zoning that forms white geometric bands in the terminal areas, on a transparent Quartz crystal partially coated with Chlorite. The specimen, completely different from those known so far from Panasqueira, comes from a small vug that produced few specimens.
