This is incredible combination piece featuring tabular pink Apatite with silvery white muscovite, schorl and Garnet. The apatite has impressive size with fine edges and good translucency. Spessertine garnet adds much contrast against the golden mica with white albite matrix and pink apatite. It's demage free, well crystalized all around and indeed a pretty neat and attractive example.

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.
