Pabstite

| Pacific Limestone Products quarry (Kalkar quarry), Santa Cruz Co., California, United States |
| Light blue under SW UV |
| Chemical Formula: Ba(Sn,Ti)Si3O9 |
Nondescript white crystal to 5-6mm in matrix. You cannot really discern the crystal until you place an ultraviolet light under short wave on the specimen. The right photo shows a strong response to UV SW, a typical bright blue. |

Panasqueiraite
|
| Panasqueira, Covilha, Castelo Branco Dist., Portugal |
Type and only locality
|
| Chemical Formula: CaMg(PO4)(OH,F) |
Salmon pink to pinkish brown, finely crystalline Panasqueiraite associated with Ferberite. I believe Panasqueirite is a primary pegmatitic phosphate given the fact that it is unoxidized and anhydrous, although I have no references to back this up. Nonetheless a very rare phosphate found at only one locality worldwide. |
