Apatite-(CaOH) : Ca5[OH|(PO4)3], Rutile : TiO2

David Mosiah claim, Cerro Huañaquino, Potosí Department, Bolivia

A columnar, double-terminated specimen of the rare variety of Apatite, Hydroxylapatite. This crystal has a green core with a creamy off-white outer zone that is accented by iron oxides. This crystal hosts many tiny black pseudomorphs of Rutile after Ilmenite. A really cool feature of this crystal is that the green inner portion fluoresces a ...

Apatite-(CaOH) : Ca5[OH|(PO4)3], Orthoclase : K[AlSi3O8]

Sapo mine, Conselheiro Pena, Doce valley, Minas Gerais, Southeast Region, Brazil

This Apatite has finally been correctly identified as the species Hydroxylapatite, very less common than Fluorapatite. Crystals, on a matrix of Orthoclase, are flat hexagonal dipyramids with almost no prism faces, a habit that is not often seen with Apatite. Faces of a short prism can be seen on this crystal, a rarity with this material. The ...
