A grouping of lustrous undamaged dark green apatite crystals sit perched on a bed of sparkling white feldspar. I almost thought the two intergrown crystals on the side were twinned but they are just intergrown. All the fluorapatite crystals are undamaged and have great luster. The specimen could be displayed attractively from a variety of angles.

Fluorapatite from Sapo Mine, Brazil
from the Sapo Mine is one of the signature modern apatites of eastern Brazil: sharp, lustrous, intensely green to yellow-green crystals set against pale feldspar, bladed albite, muscovite, and quartz from a complex granitic pegmatite in the Aimorés pegmatite district of Minas Gerais. The classic Sapo look is not the common stubby hexagonal apatite prism of many pegmatites, but a suite of distinctive forms: compressed prismatic crystals with colorless margins, stacked elongated aggregates, flattened dipyramidal apatite-group crystals, and occasional sculptural “cast” or near-hollow pieces that seem to have grown around a vanished core.
