Need help for identification

this mineral is from northen area shegar pakistan.colour is lit purple 3 things in my mind some peoples says its flourite some says appatite & few says polosite

Looks like an out of focus fluorite. What is polosite?

Rob: pollucite?

Thanks Maggie, I doubt that it is pollucite.

Morphology is best recognized in the first picture: Base shape is an octahedron, whose faces are capped by three-sided pyramids, and this is combined with a cube that truncates the corners into flat eight-sided faces. On the photo you look straight on one of the octahedron edges. Isometric (though slightly distorted) and therefore possibly fluorite.

I think Rob is right. It looks like fluorite to me too. Color and clarity makes pollucite unlikely.

Me for Fluorite too (as a guess). Here's a pic of a small Fluorite xtl in a Topaz host that sort of chimes:

thank you very much for helping me.
