This Apatite crystal from Cerro de Mercado near Durango, Mexico shows the characteristic yellow-green to yellowish color known from the locality, together with a clearly developed prismatic crystal form. With a length of 2.2 cm, it is a free-standing single crystal without any larger matrix. <\/p>\n

The crystal measures 2.2 \u00d7 1.2 \u00d7 1 cm. Despite its small size, the characteristic morphology of the mineral is clearly visible, making the specimen an interesting example from one of Mexico\u2019s classic Apatite localities. <\/p>\n

Yellow-green Apatite with distinct crystal form<\/h3>\n

The crystal shows a yellow-green to yellowish color with individual reddish-brown inclusions or attachments. Some crystal faces show a noticeable luster. <\/p>\n

The crystal habit is hexagonal-prismatic with a clearly recognizable pyramidal termination. The geometric crystal shape is particularly well visible in the frontal view. <\/p>\n

A small amount of natural contact or matrix material is present at the lower part of the crystal, while most of the crystal is freely preserved.<\/p>\n

Apatite from the classic locality Cerro de Mercado<\/h3>\n

Cerro de Mercado near Durango is one of the classic Mexican localities for yellow to yellow-green Apatite crystals. Material from the locality is especially known for its characteristic color and often well-developed prismatic crystal forms. <\/p>\n

Mineralogically, Apatite from Cerro de Mercado is frequently Fluorapatite. However, since this particular specimen has not been analytically identified, it is deliberately offered simply as Apatite. <\/p>\n

The single crystal therefore combines a typical appearance with a historically important locality and is well suited as a small, characteristic reference specimen.<\/p>\n
