Apachite is an anisotropic mineral, so the velocity of light varies for this mineral. It occurs in retrograde metamorphic environment as fractures cutting garnet diopside skarn. It occurs associated with kinoite, gilalite, stringhamite, junitoite, clinohedrite, xonotlite, apophyllite, calcite and tobermorite.[2] References1. ^Webmineral data {{silicate-mineral-stub}}2. ^1 2 Handbook of Mineralogy 3. ^American Geological Institute.University of Texas Libraries.
