Gorgeous transparent Lilac purple Fluorapatite crystals perched on a Feldspar and Quartz matrix. The crystals are slender prisms unlike the more common tabular prisms found in the region.

The Fluorapatite has nice yellow-orange fluorescence under long wave UV. Excellent overall condition. A beautiful aesthetic specimen from the Mawi pegmatite, Nilaw-Kolum pegmatite field, Nuristan, Afghanistan.
