Multiple specimens of Green Apatite. The largest sample was measured. Extremely brittle with poor cleavage and uneven fracture. While testing, sample broke apart into smaller pieces (multiple times), which was why the largest sample was being measured instead. Streak is white, and luster is vitreous.

One of the samples has a green apatite crystal with a calcite matrix.
