A large specimen of the famous "Blanchard Blue" teal-blue fluorite from New Mexico. The series of mines at the Blanchard locality has also turned out purple fluorites, and the find from which this specimen came is special in that you see a combination of the colors - mostly "Blanchard Blue" but with hints of the purple here and there. The crystals measure to 2.2 cm along the edge.
