A visually diverse set of four natural apatite rough crystals from Pakistan combining purple and green specimens in one lot. The purple pieces are deep mauve-to-brownish-purple rough crystals with a semi-transparent body and natural cleavage faces, while the green pieces are a muted teal-gray to olive-green color with a semi-transparent character. Together the set presents a contrast of cool and warm mineral tones that shows the natural color range of Pakistani apatite from a single deposit. The pieces range in size from approximately 11 to 17mm and show varied natural crystal forms.
Untreated and from Pakistan, this mixed lot offers a way to sample two distinct color varieties of apatite together. Mixed rough sets in different colors from the same deposit are popular with beginners and experienced collectors alike, and the purple and green pairing is an unusual one. It suits a mineral display case, use as rough material for an assortment, or a starter lot for collectors exploring the color range of apatite. Sold as a group of four crystals totaling 17.6g.
Natural purple and green apatite rough crystals, Pakistan, sold as a set of 4.

About apatite
Apatite is a calcium phosphate. At 5 on the Mohs scale it is soft for a gemstone and sensitive to acids, heat and knocks, so it is best for pendants, earrings or a collection.
Cleaning
Rinse it briefly in lukewarm water and let it dry. Do not scrub it: at a hardness of 5 to 6 the crystal faces scratch easily. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners. Keep it away from acids, including lemon juice and vinegar, and household cleaners.
Wear and storage
Store it padded and apart from other specimens, and keep metal tools and harder stones away from it: its faces scratch easily.
Scale
True to scale: 11 – 17 mm
