The most desired color for Panasqueira fluorapatite has always been the gemmy purple, barrel shaped crystals. This is a prime example and a competition quality miniature, to boot. It features a pristine, 1.8 cm across, gemmy, lustrous, purple edged, color zoned, fluorapatite crystal, perched jauntily on muscovite. Its quality should not surprise anyone since it was once in the world class collection of Steve and Clara Smale.
