Fluorite - Boltry quarry, Seilles, Wallonia, Belgium
Fluorite slightly green to mauve, with a shape very far from...
Purple fluorite, far from the classic cube shape we usually look for in fluorite. In fact, it's a floating lump, whose surfaces show beautiful dissolution figures, naturally sculpted by the circulation of hydrothermal fluids. This sample is atypical in terms of its provenance (fluorite is not common in Belgium) and 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 wide chromatic range and its quality, particularly when cut. See Le Règne Minéral n°129.
