Description

Bladed clusters of tabular porous crystals that are clearly replacements after an unknown previous species. These specimens are still quite controversial, cause they have been considered pseudomorphs of hydroxylapatite after hemimorphite, baryte, gypsum or even vivianite. Some also consider these as carbonate-rich apatite of the collophane variety pseudomorphs. Quite rare in the marked nowadays, it is a must in every pseudomorphs or Mexican thematic collection.

Acquired in the late 1970’s by Ludo Van Goethem, it has been in my collection during the last 10 years.
