About Chlorapatite
Chlorapatite is the chlorine-dominant end member of the apatite mineral group, forming transparent to translucent hexagonal crystals typically in colorless, yellow, or pale green tones in skarn deposits, metamorphic rocks, and igneous rocks. Fine faceted specimens are occasional collector curiosities, though chlorapatite is rarely separated from other apatite varieties in the gem trade. Notable occurrences are found in South Africa and Mexico.
