Purple Apatite is by far the most desirable of all colors of Apatite, and is for all intents and purpose, the most difficult to obtain. This piece features a few, sharp, translucent, lustrous, rich purple, tabular crystals of Apatite associated with Quartz, Albite, Muscovite and even a small patch of light green Fluorite! The largest Apatite crystal measures 1.1 cm across. A lovely miniature specimen of this rare shade of Apatite. This specimen was mined in 1995, when some of the most vivid purple Apatites came out of Pakistan.
