A fine and showy cluster of intensely purple apatite crystals from the Mawi Pegmatite of Afghanistan. The crystals have excellent luster and translucency. The cluster is complete-all-around and is nicely complimented by tiny indicolite tourmalines on the backside. A superb example of this rare, intense color.
