Fluorapatite ("floater") Childrenite well-formed blocky orthorhombic Hopeite crystalsAlpine Apatites are not terribly common and are certainly one of the more desirable species for Alpine mineral collectors. This specimen features somewhat thick, tabular hexagonal crystals of a soft lilac hue in fluorescent lighting and shows a slight color shift to more of a pale pinkish rose hue in cool temperature LED lighting. The piece has a bit of internal "silk" and shows a very slight internal "cat's eye" effect when rotated in the light.
