I never tire of viewing these Spanish Fluorites from La Collada. 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 a dream to behold. This huge detached individual crystal, reaching over 8.8 cm on edge, displays the iconic crystal form of Fluorite from Collada mine. Characteristic, rough chamfered edges contrast against the glassy interior of the cube. The edges are not as dark purple as many La Collada Fluorites, but when backlit the internal faces appear slightly paler in colour. 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, with an dark internal 'phantom' cube. This specimen specifically comes from the 75 Level on Josefa-Veneros vein and dates back to an early find.
