Fluorite, La Barre Mine, Riom, Puy-de-Dome, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France

Unknown Owner

Found in 2023 by a group of young French field collectors these are some of the best blue fluorites I have seen come from La Barre in the past several years. This piece is a cluster of saturated blue with a nice yellow core. Please note there is a repair as many of these specimens were damaged in situ.
