A nice fluorapatite specimen from finds made last year at the Kami Mine in Bolivia. This example has couple pale crystals sharing a matrix with partial quartz crystals, and brown siderite crystals with an odd, pseudooctahedral appearance. The color of this apatite is pale and varies with lighting-- it appears palest in daylight (or daylight equivalent lighting) and has the greatest saturation under incandescent lighting (though this is still quite pale as well!) If you would like videos taken under a specific type of lighting, feel free to send an e-mail.
