Red apatite from Pakistan fluorescent 8.8g

This natural red apatite rough crystal from Pakistan has a rich, deep wine-red to brownish-burgundy color with a semi-transparent body and raw natural crystal faces. The color is warm and saturated, sitting in the deep raspberry-to-plum-red range with excellent depth. While this listing's primary photo shows the stone under normal light, this variety of Pakistani apatite is fluorescent and glows a vivid yellow under 310nm ultraviolet light, making it a striking dual-purpose mineral specimen. The piece has a natural, organic form and good weight at 8.8g.

Untreated and from Pakistan, this red apatite is a collector-grade mineral specimen that stands out among typical apatite offerings, which tend to skew toward green or blue. Red apatite from Pakistan is relatively uncommon in the market, and fluorescent examples like this are particularly appealing to UV mineral collectors. Display it as a rich red specimen in daylight or reveal its hidden glow with an ultraviolet lamp. A unique piece for collectors of unusual minerals or apatite varieties.
