NR37AM1: Aggregate of Fluorite crystals with cubic habit beveled by the dodecahedron, transparent, very shiny, with an intense and vivid lilac color. On matrix, with Quartz crystals and white scalenohedral Calcite crystals. As is often the case with this type of specimen, the back has been sawn to reduce the matrix.
Llamas Quarry, Obdulia vein, Caravia mining area, Las Cabañas, Duyos, Caravia, Comarca Oriente, Principality of Asturias (Asturias)  Spain

Specimen size: 5.2 × 3.2 × 4.6 cm = 2.05” × 1.26” × 1.81”

Main crystal size: 1.6 × 1.3 cm = 0.63” × 0.51”

NJ93AM1: Fluorite crystals, one of them clearly dominant, with a cubic habit, more elongated than usual and finely beveled by the dodecahedron. The crystals are transparent, brilliant, and bright purple in color. On matrix, with Quartz crystals. As is often the case with this type of specimen, the back has been sawn to reduce the matrix.
