Description
A pseudomorph specimen of sericite after apatite from Mozambique. The original hexagonal apatite crystal has been completely replaced by sericite, the fine-grained variety of muscovite, while faithfully preserving its original crystal form. A smaller, attached sidecar crystal adds further interest to the piece. A beautiful specimen that will appeal not only to pseudomorph collectors but also to enthusiasts of mineralogical processes and crystallography.
