Fluorapatite Crystal on matrix - Height: 25 mm - Width: 16 mm- 19.98 g - (1)

The pink Apatite is considered a highly rare variety. Finds of pink Apatite in Colombia are particularly anecdotal and sporadic, constituting a specific occurrence within the field of mineralogy. This scarcity, combined with the purity of its hue, bestows the specimen with a significance of notable origin. The piece exhibits remarkable crystallographic architecture; the main body of the apatite is a bi-terminated aggregate consisting of multiple tabular (flattened) habit crystals arranged in a stepped growth pattern. This 'staircase' formation gives the piece a highly sculptural quality and great dynamism. The Apatite group is crowned by a snow-white Albita crystal. The chromatic and morphological contrast between the deep pink color of the Apatite crystals and the Albita creates an outstanding compositional harmony. The combination of a rare paragenetic association, a dynamic stepped habit, and a scarce hue, along with an unusually rare provenance, make it a specimen of high systematic value and undeniable aesthetic elegance, essential for specialized collections of phosphates.
