Nice soft purple Apatite (probably fluorapatite) with large tabular crystals to 1.5cm. Obviously the mineral, reacting to the lights, changed colors as the it was rotated about its axes. The true color is well represented in the upper right photo.

Black grains to 3mm of Versiliaite and silvery-black crystals to 1mm of Apaunite. The two are difficult to distinguish, but based on some research the Apuanite are the well formed metallic crystals and the Versiliaite is the dull black subhedral grains. Ex. D. Garske specimen.
