TA47Z2: Fluorapatite with Tourmaline

A novelty at Tucson 2014. Complex group of Fluorapatite crystals, very rich with crystalline forms including a translucent dominant prism with parallel growths and with small Tourmaline crystals. The color, clearly pink in daylight, acquires brownish shades under electric lightning.
Golconda pegmatite, Governador Valadares, Vale do Rio Doce, Minas Gerais Brazil (11/2013)
Specimen size: 4.2 × 2.8 × 1.5 cm = 1.65” × 1.10” × 0.59”

TR49Z2: Fluorapatite with Tourmaline

A novelty at Tucson 2014. Aggregate of prismatic Fluorapatite crystals with a dominant prism and complex terminations, very rich with crystalline forms. They are translucent, extraordinarily bright and are with small Tourmaline crystals. The color, clearly pink in daylight, acquires brownish shades under electric lightning.
The sample has been noted and photographed in the monograph "Golconda!" of the Mineralogical Record magazine on page 619 in the volume 50, number 5, September-October 2019
Golconda pegmatite, Governador Valadares, Vale do Rio Doce, Minas Gerais Brazil (11/2013)
Specimen size: 4.3 × 3.2 × 2.7 cm = 1.69” × 1.26” × 1.06”

Main crystal size: 3 × 2.2 cm = 1.18” × 0.87”

TC30Z2: Fluorapatite with Tourmaline

22TVR36: Fluorapatite, Albite, Chlorite

Isolated crystals of Fluorapatite were deposited on a matrix formed by a crystalline mass of Albite completely covered by a layer of Chlorite microcrystals with a mossy habit. The Fluorapatite displays a perfectly sharp hexagonal outline, tabular with highly developed and rough bevels but with very smooth faces, translucent and very lustrous. A very elegant specimen that comes from the old Robert-Auguste Touchon collection.
Pizzo Centrale, Airolo, Central St Gotthard Massif, Leventina, Ticino (Tessin) Switzerland
Specimen size: 5.8 × 4.2 × 3.5 cm = 2.28” × 1.65” × 1.38”

Main crystal size: 0.6 × 0.6 cm = 0.24” × 0.24”

9NF09: Fluorapatite, Muscovite, Siderite

Group of lanceolate Muscovite crystals, extremely fine, aggregated in sheaves, with the characteristic pearly grey color and with terminations of a darker tone. At the base of the Muscovite crystals, several Fluorapatite crystals have formed, with well-defined faces and edges, a pale green color, and good luster. The combo is complemented by a multitude of tiny Siderite crystals at the base of the piece which cements the whole together.
Minas da Panasqueira, level 3, Aldeia de São Francisco de Assis, Covilhã, Castelo Branco, Cova da Beira, Centro Region Portugal (2002)
Specimen size: 6.7 × 3.4 × 2.4 cm = 2.64” × 1.34” × 0.94”

RF16V1: Fluorapatite, Quartz, Muscovite and Tourmaline

Doubly terminated short prismatic crystals of Fluorapatite with zones of color between green and violet-blue. They are on matrix, with Quartz, Muscovite and small acicular crystals of tourmaline (Schorl-Dravite)
Minas da Panasqueira, Aldeia de São Francisco de Assis, Covilhã, Castelo Branco, Cova da Beira, Centro Region Portugal
Specimen size: 4.9 × 4.3 × 3.2 cm = 1.93” × 1.69” × 1.26”

Main crystal size: 2.2 × 1.4 cm = 0.87” × 0.55”

JFD245AQ1: Fluorapatite, Siderite, Muscovite and Chlorite

Nice group of Fluorapatite crystals with the center of the crystals exhibiting images of circular growth of darker color, which are locally called “olho de bou” (bull's eyes). With Siderite and Muscovite on the matrix, both slightly coated by Chlorite. A showy and exceptionally well preserved piece.
Minas da Panasqueira, Aldeia de São Francisco de Assis, Covilhã, Castelo Branco, Cova da Beira, Centro Region Portugal (±1970)
Specimen size: 7 × 5.6 × 2.8 cm = 2.76” × 2.20” × 1.10”

AB91Y8: Quartz with Fluorapatite and Chlorite

Group of bright and extraordinarily transparent Quartz crystals with Fluorapatite crystals showing a curious double growth, with smooth surfaces on the terminal pinacoid and with fibrous parallel aggregates on the prismatic faces.
Minas da Panasqueira, Aldeia de São Francisco de Assis, Covilhã, Castelo Branco, Cova da Beira, Centro Region Portugal (1987-2013)
Specimen size: 9.2 × 6.2 × 4.6 cm = 3.62” × 2.44” × 1.81”

Main crystal size: 2.2 × 1.3 cm = 0.87” × 0.51”
