Fluorite - Boltry quarry, Seilles, Wallonia, Belgium

Fluorite slightly green to mauve, with a shape very far from the classic cube that one generally looks for in a fluorite. It is in fact a piece whose surfaces show very beautiful dissolution figures, naturally sculpted by the circulation of hydrothermal fluids. Some very slight "fresh" cleavages. This sample is atypical because of its provenance (fluorite is not common in Belgium) and because of the uniqueness of this discovery having taken place in a single area of the quarry, in the 1960s/1970s. The green color is the most rarely represented. 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.

3,7 x 3 x 2,5 cm.
