Apatite-(CaF) (Var: Saamite) : (Ca,Sr,REE)5(PO4)3(F,O) | |
|
Lovozero Massif, Kola Peninsula, Murmanskaja Oblast', Northern Region, Russia Terminated crystal of translucent saamite (REE-Sr-Apatite) without any matrix. Though saamite is often identified as belovite, local geologist actually consider this mineral to be fluorapatite (Pekov, 2000). Overall size of mineral specimen: 12x11x7 mm. Size of individual crystals: 12 mm. |
