RM3580   Fluorite, baryte and chalcopyrite
CaF₂
  -  3. Halides

A very good-sized fluorite specimen formed by several cubic crystals, growing in parallel and in staggered forms. Its faces show polysynthetic growths and its edges are beveled by the dodecahedron. It is transparent and brilliant. The internal color is slightly violet, depending on the light, but the fluorite is colorless, as is typical at this Asturian deposit. It is accompanied by several good-sized prismatic barite crystals, interspersed with small chalcopyrite crystals. A very aesthetic specimen.

Size: 9.8 x 8.9 x 7.2 cm.
Main crystal: 3 x 2.4 cm.

RM344   Fluorite with quartz
CaF₂
  -  3. Halides

The colorless crystals of fluorite from Emilio mine are well known and show a hyaline transparency. It is hard to capture their brilliance with the camera. This specimen shows a cubic crystal druse with forms of the trapezohedron at the vertices. With some inclusions. Few crystals show small notches on the edges, very common in Emilio fluorite crystals because of its sensitivity to temperature changes, but without affecting their beauty.
A
brilliant miniature!

Size: 4,9 x 4,2 x 2,4 cm.
Main crystal: 10 x 9 mm.
