Associated with fluorite in the calcite are hexagonal crystals of red\/green apatite, yellow scapolite, buff coloured feldspar, and green pyroxene. The Schickler occurrence is only one potential collecting site of many on the 400 acre Crown property \u2013 come prepared to do some exploring! &#8211; See more at: http:\/\/www.highlandseast.ca\/article\/unleash-your-inner-rock-hound-at-highlands-easts-mineral-collection-sites#sthash.zPS67ggW.dpuf<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/03Schickler.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-557\" alt=\"03Schickler\" src=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/03Schickler.jpg\" width=\"526\" height=\"618\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/03Schickler.jpg 526w, http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/03Schickler-255x300.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Red apatite, 3 x 6 cm, interesting who one crystal has grown out of the other.<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/01Schickler.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-558\" alt=\"01Schickler\" src=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/01Schickler.jpg\" width=\"526\" height=\"655\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/01Schickler.jpg 526w, http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/01Schickler-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Purple fluorite on calcite, approx. 5 x 9 cm.<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/07Schickler.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-559\" alt=\"07Schickler\" src=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/07Schickler.jpg\" width=\"526\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/07Schickler.jpg 526w, http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/07Schickler-290x300.jpg 290w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Scapolite with purple fluorite scattered around, approx. 8 x 8 cm.<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/04Schickler.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-560\" alt=\"04Schickler\" src=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/04Schickler.jpg\" width=\"526\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/04Schickler.jpg 526w, http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/04Schickler-282x300.jpg 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Purple fluorite, approx. 7 x 7 x 3 cm.<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/02Schickler.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-561\" alt=\"02Schickler\" src=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/02Schickler.jpg\" width=\"526\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/02Schickler.jpg 526w, http:\/\/kawartharockandfossilclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/02Schickler-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Largest red apatite 3 x 1.5 cm, green apatite, scapolite and purple fluorite on calcite.
