Everybody WANTS a purple apatite from here, but the really purple ones are so uncommon that most folks only see the "lavender" hue and not the real purply pieces, such as this one! It is a glassy, intensely colorful crystal with interesting phantom zones inside ranging from yellow to green to purple (i count at least 5 zones). The purple cap is thick, intense, and shows readily without special lighting. Minor siderite adds accent and contrast to the apatite. Complete all around except the bottom face.
