If I had to guess where this fluorapatite specimen originated, my answer would be Pakistan. However, it is from a pegmatite in the heart of Minas Gerais, Brazil (as I bought it from a good source down there!). Gemmy, pinkish-purple fluorapatite crystals, to 1.5 cm across are perched on white quartz and albite along with minor muscovite.
