Wow, what a stunner! The Collada mine in Asturias, northern Spain has produced some eye-catchingly distinctive Fluorite crystals and Fluorite-Calcite combos. Colourful, complex, and sometimes large, the Fluorite crystals are like a work of art. This huge detached individual crystal, reaching over 8 cm on edge, displays the iconic crystal form of Fluorite from Collada mine. Characteristic, wide, crazed, deep purple chamfered edges, contrast against the paler lilac coloured glassy interior of the cube. The cube is not complete, it is partial, from where it was detached from matrix, but the main crystal faces, corners and edges are pristine. Internally, the crystal is translucent, rather than transparent, but looks absolutely amazing when backlit. This specimen specifically comes from the 75 Level on Josefa-Veneros vein and dates back to an early find.
