The Blanchard is best-known for teal-blue fluorites, but there are several mines at the locality in fact, and each produces slightly different crystals. One of the adits turned out these deep purple crystals! They measure to 1.5 cm, and are nicely transparent. What makes them particularly pretty are their contrast with the field of orange quartz on which they sit.
