This is a wholesale lot of approximately 250 Apatite crystals weighing about 1440 grams in total. These are low grade, broken crystals hence the cheap price. Quickly scanning the Internet I see similar sized/quality crystals retailing for between $3-10 each.

At Cerro de Mercado numerous veins containing gemmy, lemon-yellow to greenish fluorapatite crystals cut through the hematite massif. These crystals have been collected for decades from the area's iron mines, but they have become much scarcer with recent mechanization of the mining operations.
The bright, lustrous apatite crystals form hexagonal shapes with off-center terminations. They are found in vugs, often associated with quartz and calcite. Most crystals are around an inch in length, though larger crystals up to about 4 inches long have been found.
