Purple Apatite Crystals on Contrasting White Matrix
Nagar, Hunza Valley, Skardu, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan

A phosphate mineral named after the Greek word apate means deceit and Apatite is similar in appearance to many other minerals. Purple apatite crystals, widely considered the rarest and most desirable color in apatite, are known in high-quality examples from Maine, Portugal, and Brazil.

Recent finds in Pakistan’s Nagar Valley, however, have produced a small number of truly outstanding large, gemmy violet apatite crystals on matrix. This is a particularly choice example, featuring good size and vibrant purple apatite well-crystallized crystal aggregate perched quite aesthetically on thin foil contrasting white matrix. Indeed a pretty neat and beautiful large thumbnail piece for the collection.

Description:

The name ‘apatit’ was introduced by A.G. Werner believably somewhere in the mid-1780s, which he later explained as being named from the Greek verb aπasάω, which means ‘to deceive’ or ‘to be deceptive’, because, as he wrote, “until now it has misled all mineralogists in its identification.” The material is soft, brittle, and sensitive to heat. It has a wide variety of colors. Clear transparent stones are faceted, and chatoyant specimens are cut into cabochons.

 

Apatite is the most popular phosphate mineral and is the main cause of the phosphorus required by plants. The teeth and bones of most animals, including humans, are composed of calcium phosphate, which is the same material as apatite.
