AUGELITE CRYSTALS SPECIMENS

Augelite is an aluminum phosphate mineral that occurs as a product of metamorphism in phosphate-bearing sedimentary rocks, in granitic pegmatites, and in veins of high-heat hydrothermal ore deposits. Crystals can be colorless or exhibit green, yellow, white, blue, pink, and red coloration depending on impurities present during formation. Due to its relatively low hardness along with its brittle tenacity, augelite is seldom used for faceting or lapidary work.
