Elmwood Mine, Carthage, Central Tennessee Ba-F-Pb-Zn District, Smith County, Tennessee  USA

Specimen size: 11 × 7.5 × 7 cm = 4.33” × 2.95” × 2.76”

Main crystal size: 1.2 × 1 cm = 0.47” × 0.39”

FT16F7: Crystals of fluorite surround it right to the top. Maybe they were trying to purify themselves as they have a phantom within them. But that would not have been easy as the road was full of spines.... of Quartz, of course. Such thoughts aside, the Fluorite has an excellent color and is from a classic locality, which is famous for its exceptional Rhodochrosite.
Sweet Home Mine, Mount Bross, Alma District, Park County, Colorado  USA (±2001)

Specimen size: 4.1 × 3.1 × 2.2 cm = 1.61” × 1.22” × 0.87”

Main crystal size: 0.9 × 0.9 cm = 0.35” × 0.35”

FL50H8: Excellent and not so common crystallization with stepped formation produced by the repetition of the forms of the cube all along of the edges and also on the faces of the octahedron. There is also a “phantom” growth with a more opaque central zone. The crystals are on a matrix of Rhodochrosite, Quartz and small crystals of Chalcopyrite.
The sample is with the label of the collection of Fluorites of Herb Obodda.

Main crystal size: 3.5 × 3.2 cm = 1.38” × 1.26”

FA14H8: Crystals are octahedrons, and have stepped growths due to the presence of small faces of the cube, both on the edges and the faces. The matrix, on which there are also small crystals of Quartz, is formed for a group of hexagonal crystals of Pyrrhotite, well defined, neat, bright and free of alteration.
Santa Eulalia District, Municipio Aquiles Serdán, Chihuahua  Mexico (±1996)

Main crystal size: 2 × 2 cm = 0.79” × 0.79”

FE86F7: In this case I like the form of the Fluorite, it looks like a stepped tower, and also the crown of white Calcite near the top of it. I also like the fact that within it you can also see needlelike crystals of Jamesonite. A very good specimen for the locality.
San Martín Mine, San Martín, San Martín-Sabinas District, Municipio Sombrerete, Zacatecas  Mexico (±2004)

Specimen size: 5.3 × 4.3 × 4.4 cm = 2.09” × 1.69” × 1.73”

Main crystal size: 0.7 × 0.5 cm = 0.28” × 0.20”

FC16G6: Really Nature has its own caprices! I think this piece is a good example. Dolomite crystals form a "pompon" on the top of a Calcite scalenohedron. Furthermore there are some Fluorite crystals and one of them, as it must be, on the "pompon".
Emilio Mine, Obdulia vein, Caravia mining area, La Rubiera, Loroñe, Colunga, Comarca de la Sidra, Principality of Asturias (Asturias)  Spain (±1998)

Specimen size: 11 × 6.3 × 7 cm = 4.33” × 2.48” × 2.76”

From the Veneros Norte Mine at La Collada, which is now closed, comes this large crystal (a floater) that is recrystallized on the rear and that has the typical bevelled edges of this mine. A deep violet color, but in fact even more interesting as one can feel the depth of it due to the bluer zone in its center.

West Pastures Mine, Stanhope, Weardale, North Pennines Orefield, County Durham  England / United Kingdom

Specimen size: 12 × 9.5 × 4.5 cm = 4.72” × 3.74” × 1.77”

Main crystal size: 0.7 × 0.7 cm = 0.28” × 0.28”

FQ46G6: In a first view, as a Quartz, it looks rare. And it is rare, because it has the form of octahedral Fluorite, previously existing and substituted by the Quartz. More curious is to observe that the surface is cryptocrystalline Quartz (Chalcedony) but the core of the octahedron, where Fluorite primarily was, is hollow and consists of little geodes covered by Quartz crystals.

We call attention to Zinnwald as a type locality for Zinnwaldite.
