JFD207AP5: Panasqueira has been producing well-crystallized specimens of all kinds of mineral species for many decades. This great mine is distinguished not only by its fluorapatites, but its siderites too are of high quality and their crystal habits can be very varied. In addition, other well-crystallized species may be associated with them, such as Ferberite, small crystals of Pyrite and Chalcopyrite, and Calcite-Dolomite.
