Apatite-(CaF) with Muscovite
	MR26K4: A novelty from Munich 2007. We have had this Apatite analyzed and it is really Apatite-(CaF), as we guessed. Group of doubly terminated prismatic crystals formed by the prism and the pinacoid. Their habit and their deep green color remind us of some specimens from Panasqueira. The group is implanted on a matrix of Muscovite. We did an analysis to confirm the species because there is also Apatite-(CaOH) at the locality, but this ones they are Apatite-(CaF).

Ruifrancoite

It is a new species discovered and accepted by the IMA in the year 2005. It forms different growths, the most usual practically spherical forms, but also donut and empty hemispherical forms. This rare phosphate can be easily confused with another similar, also rare, species. So, we analyzed our samples and we’ll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer. The analytical process also confirmed that in some specimens the matrix is Beryllonite that, furthermore, appears as idiomorphic crystals which adds special interest to the specimen where it is present.

Red Variscite

The color of these Variscites is extraordinary, deep red, and especially unusual for the species, placing them among the best known.
Analysis indicate these Variscites are slightly ferroan (which is normal considering that Al and Fe form a series). We think, however, its color is not due to iron because the center of crystals is almost uncolored but the external zone is deeply colored yet both zones have the same chemical composition. Considering all this we think the red color may be due to color centers as is the case of some zoned Fluorites.
As we normally do in these cases we will send the buyer a copy of the analysis.
