Fluorapatite from Yates Mine, Canada

Fluorapatite from Yates Mine, Otter Lake, Pontiac RCM, Outaouais, Québec, Canada

Specimen pieces of Fluorapatite from this uncommon locale, Yates Mine. These are pretty typical pieces from the locale - a mix of browny-red and green-blue colours.

Yates Mine was closed until recently but is now reopened as a pay to collect site. They come labelled as Apatite, but further research has shown they are Fluorapatite.
