Description
Exceptionally large specimen of cubic blue fluorite on pyramidal quartz mat.
The cubes are intact, light-blue and translucent, revealing slight edging and inclusions of micro-chalcopyrite.
The largest crystal measures 3.3 cm across.
Remnants of oxide around the quartz enhance the contrast of this classic French fluorite.
Specimen from the Burc mine, Burg, Tarn.
Minerals from Eric Asselborn’s collection.
