Regional guide
Fluorapatite from Panasqueira Mines, Portugal
Panasasqueira is one of the great names in European mineral collecting, and fluorapatite is one of the minerals that made it so. The mine’s best crystals have the instantly recognizable Panasqueira look: lustrous hexagonal prisms and thick tabular crystals, commonly green to grey-green, blue-green, colorless, white, lilac, violet, or color-zoned, perched on glittering muscovite, siderite rhombs, arsenopyrite, quartz, pyrite, fluorite, or black bladed ferberite. A good Panasqueira apatite is not merely “green apatite”; it carries the whole visual grammar of the deposit—flat hydrothermal quartz veins, silvery mica selvages, sulfide sparkle, and the clean geometry of slowly grown phosphate crystals.
