A SIGNIFICANT European fluorite specimen, both for its size and the quality of the crystals, which measure to 3.4 cm along the edge. They are a transparent light blue-grey in hue, and show fine internal phantoms as well. Big French fluorites such as this just do not come along very often! I have seen smaller specimen from the locality, usually without such nice quartz matrix but rather broken off from the matrix. This is, however, one of the better large matrix pieces I have had. I am told that the mine is now defunct, though I am not sure when it closed. 17 x 16 x 6 cm
