Fluorapatite (Apatite CaF) (Ref: 17.1-701)
La Marina Mine, Pauna, Boyacá, Colombia
14mm x 10mm x 6mm
minID: 57C-HMQ
A small but incredible gem clear Apatite crystal with the desirable bright pink color. From the La Marina mine in the Emerald belt of Boyaca province that is known for world class Euclase. This has a thin white line inside much like a fadden string which has been noted rarely from this locale. The crystals in the mine often have elongated or widened, distorted prisms, which is seen on this one as well. Very sharp, a very small chip is on one back edge but overall visually clean on the front display side. We visit Colombia several times each year looking for Apatites like this. The production is very sporadic and never large, some years none are seen. This is well above average for color, clarity, form and condition. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
