Fluorite - Boltry quarry, Seilles, Wallonia, Belgium
Colorless to mauve fluorite, with a shape very different from the classic cube that one usually looks for in a fluorite. It is in fact a piece whose surface shows very beautiful figures of dissolution, naturally sculpted by the circulation of hydrothermal fluids. The back is cleaved, which was common practice at the time to show the internal purity of the fluorite. 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.
