Description

Large group of cubic crystals of blue fluorite, sometimes covered with chalcedony. A small amount of massive violet fluorite is visible on the back of the specimen, typical of the deposit.

The whole is well crystallized, although there are a few contacts and bumps, mostly on the sides of the specimen. Most cubes feature blue to yellow ghosts.

The Beix mine, in Saint Germain près Herment, is located in the Puy-de-Dôme department, and is a source of minerals found in Auvergne. A mine well known for the exceptional sets of fluorite crystals it has provided.

Here is a video of these fluorite crystals from the Beix mine:
