Description

This fluorite was self-collected in 2009 at the Lhamda Mine, near Touroug, Er Rachidia, Morocco. It has an uncommon green colour for the locality (they are usually yellow at the surface). It has moderate lustre and white elongated inclusions which are typical for the locality. This fluorite present a very intense colour change if illuminated with the sun light, turning much more deep bluish green coloured than shown in the pictures here, but light purple under artificial illumination. It displays also a strong fluorescence under long, medium and short UV waves.

Ex. Iván Blanco collection.
