Description and notes
"Please check this stunning hot pink candy apatite with green cap tourmaline, albite & calcite. It has a very striking color contrast and is completely fine condition. 5.5 x 5 x 2 cm. apatite is 1.9 x 1.9 x 1.4 cm, tourmaline is 5.5 x 1.4 x 1.2 cm. 70 grams". I analyzed the piece with Raman. The associated minerals are orthoclase, albite, and the transparent tip of the tourmaline is elbaite. The dark part is more difficult to say, its either foitite or fluor-elbaite. If I had to say, then my guess is fluor-elbaite because fluorite was also found in the pocket.
