Fluorite - Boltry quarry, Seilles, Wallonia, Belgium
Blue and mauve fluorite, with a shape very different from the classic cube that one usually looks for in a fluorite. It is in fact a floating piece, whose surfaces show very beautiful dissolution figures, naturally sculpted by the circulation of hydrothermal fluids. This sample is atypical because of its provenance (fluorite is not common in Belgium) and because of the uniqueness of this discovery, which took place in a single area of the quarry, in the 1960s/1970s. Although rare, Seilles fluorite is known for its great chromatic range as well as its quality, revealed especially when cut. See Le Règne Minéral n°129.
