Fluorapatite, Albite, Muscovite - Shigar Tal, Skardu, Baltistan, Gilgit, Pakistan
 
Intensely colored fluorapatite with muscovite on snow-white albite form this extremely aesthetic specimen from the Pakistan collection. The almost 2 cm large, sharp-edged crystallized, undamaged apatite has a beautiful translucency and an excellent luster. It contrasts well with the also undamaged albit. 
Pink apatites are rare, especially on Matrix!
A wonderful splash of color for any collection.
Fluorapatite shines in an intense neon yellow under long-wave UV.
