Fluorapatite (fluorescent)

Item Description

Pakistan for a few decades have given collectors a selection of good crystallized Fluorapatites from several localities occurring various colors. I feel like I have seen almost every color you can think of for Fluorapatite from Pakistan, including arguably the finest pink crystals in the world. This piece is a lovely thumbnail sized specimen from Dassu featuring a couple sharp, lustrous, translucent, soft pink color, prismatic, hexagonal crystals of Fluorapatite with minor attached Muscovite and white Albite at one end. The piece displays nicely, but the smaller Apatite is contacted on the back, but you can't see it from the front. A lovely classic pink Apatite from Pakistan. As you can see in the video, the piece glows a brilliant yellow under SW UV light.
