Editor's note
Blue fluorite is rare and often fades with time and yet it is very popular with collectors because its icy appearance is irresistible. The blue in fluorite is often artificially enhanced by irradiating it - beware of such fakes! This specimen comes from one of the world's most reputable dealers and is not altered. It is a great example of blue fluorite from the famous La Barre mine in France and a good addition to a fluorite collection.

Description
Fluorite from the La Barre mine, Saint-Jacques-d'Ambur, Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France is known the world over for its amazing colours and zonation. This small miniature specimen displays the classic pale blue colour with a slight hint of zoning in the outer couple of millimetres. The crystal, which measures 3 cm on edge, is missing its lower edge and the rear is absent, tapering slightly from one end to the other. The main front face is lovely and glassy, internally translucent, with a super baby blue colour.

Fluorite Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
