Apatite from Panasqueira Mines, Portugal

from the Panasqueira Mines is one of the signature mineral classics of Europe: glassy, hexagonal fluorapatite, most often in green, blue-green, colorless, pale yellow, violet, or purple crystals, set against the unmistakable Panasqueira palette of silvery arsenopyrite, ribbed black ferberite, sparkling muscovite, siderite, quartz, pyrite, sphalerite, fluorite, calcite, and other vein minerals. In serious collections the label is usually shortened to “apatite,” but the collector-specimen species from Panasqueira is fluorapatite, Ca5(PO4)3F.
